RE: MacArthur Trail Project
Sidewalk Easement
Dear Property Owner,
The City of Coppell intends to construct the MacArthur Trail Project. The project consists of the
installation of an 8 foot hike and bike trail, curb ramps & driveway transitions along the east side
of MacArthur Blvd, from Deforest Road to Bethel School Road as shown in the Trails Master
Plan. We are requesting a sidewalk easement along the frontage of your properties adjacent to
MacArthur.
The project is scheduled to advertise this year and we need to acquire the easements as soon as
possible. Enclosed are copies of the easement document. If this is acceptable, please execute the
easement and return to this office.
Your consideration of this matter is appreciated. Should you have any questions regarding these
documents, please contact me at the number below.
Sincerely,

LANDOWNER'S
BILL OF RIGHTS
PREPARED BY THE
OFFICE OF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS
STATE OF TEXAS LANDOWNER'S BILL OF RIGHTS
This Landowner's Bill of Rights applies to any attempt by the government or a private entity to take your property.
The contents of this Bill of Rights are prescribed by the Texas Legislature in Texas Government Code Sec. 402.031
and Chapter 21 of the Texas Property Code.
You are entitled to receive adequate compensation
if your property is taken for a public use.
2. Your property can only betaken for a public use.
3. Your property can onlybe taken by a governmental
entity or private entity authorized by law to do so.
4. The entity that wants to take your property must
notify you that it wants to take your property.
5. The entity proposing to take your property
must provide you with a written appraisal from
a certified appraiser detailing the adequate
compensation you are owed for your property.
6. The entity proposing to take your property must
make a bona fide offer to buy the property before
it files a lawsuit to condemn the property - which
means the condemning entity must make a good
faith offer that conforms with Chapter 21 of the
Texas Property Code.
7. You may hire an appraiser or other professional to
determine the value of your property or to assist
you in any condemnation proceeding.
8. You may hire an attorney to negotiate with the
condemning entity and to represent you in any
legal proceedings involving the condemnation.
9. Before your property is condemned, you are
entitled to a hearing before a court appointed
panel that includes three special commissioners.
The special commissioners must determine
the amount of compensation the condemning
entity owes for the taking of your property.
The commissioners must also determine what
compensation, if any, you are entitled to receive
for any reduction in value of your remaining
property.
CONDEMNATION PROCEDURE
10. If you are unsatisfied with the compensation
awarded by the special commissioners, or if you
question whether the taking of your property was
proper, you have the right to a trial by a judge or
jury. If you are dissatisfied with the trial courts
judgment, you may appeal that decision.
Eminent domain is the legal authority that certain entities are granted that allows those entities to take private
property for a public use. Private property can include land and certain improvements that are on that property.
Private property may only be taken by a governmental entity or private entity that is authorized by law to do so. Your
property may be taken only for a public purpose. That means it can only be taken for a purpose or use that serves
the general public. Texas law prohibits condemnation authorities from taking your property to enhance tax revenues
or foster economic development.
Your property cannot be taken without adequate compensation. Adequate compensation includes the market value
of the property being taken. It may also include certain damages if your remaining property's market value is
diminished by the acquisition itself or by the way the condemning entity will use the property.
HOW THE TAKING PROCESS BEGINS
The taking of private property by eminent domain must follow certain procedures. First, the entity that wants to
condemn your property must provide you a copy of this Landowner's Bill of Rights before - or at the same time - the
entity first represents to you that it possesses eminent domain authority.
Second, if it has not been previously provided, the condemning entity must send this Landowner's Bill of Rights to
the last known address of the person who is listed as the property owner on the most recent tax roll. This requirement
stipulates that the Landowner's Bill of Rights must be provided to the property owner at least seven days before the
entity makes a final offer to acquire the property.
Third, the condemning entity must make a bona fide offer to purchase the property. The requirements for a bona fide
offer are contained in Chapter 21 of the Texas Property Code. At the time a purchase offer is made, the condemning
entity must disclose any appraisal reports it produced or acquired that relate specifically to the property and were
prepared in the ten years preceding the date of the purchase offer. You have the right to discuss the offer with others
and to either accept or reject the offer made by the condemning entity.
CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS
If you and the condemning entity do not agree on the value of your property, the entity may begin condemnation
proceedings. Condemnation is the legal process that eligible entities utilize to take private property. It begins with a
condemning entity filing a claim for your property in court. If you live in a county where part of the property being
condemned is located, the claim must be filed in that county. Otherwise, the condemnation claim can be filed in
any county where at least part of the property being condemned is located. The claim must describe the property
being condemned, state with specificity the public use, state the name of the landowner, state that the landowner and
the condemning entity were unable to agree on the value of the property, state that the condemning entity provided
the landowner with the Landowner's Bill of Rights, and state that the condemning entity made a bona fide offer to
acquire the property from the property owner voluntarily.
SPECIAL COMMISSIONIERS' H EARING
After the condemning entity files a condemnation claim in court, the judge will appoint three local landowners to
serve as special commissioners. The judge will give you a reasonable period to strike one of the special commissioners.
If a commissioner is struck, the judge will appoint a replacement. These special commissioners must live in the
county where the condemnation proceeding is filed, and they must take an oath to assess the amount of adequate
compensation fairly, impartially, and according to the law. The special commissioners are not legally authorized
to decide whether the condemnation is necessary or if the public use is proper. Their role is limited to assessing
adequate compensation for you. After being appointed, the special commissioners must schedule a hearing at the
earliest practical time and place. The special commissioners are also required to give you written notice of the
condemnation hearing.
You are required to provide the condemning entity any appraisal reports that were used to determine your claim
about adequate compensation for the condemned property. Under anew law enacted in 2011, landowners' appraisal
reports must be provided to the condemning entity either ten days after the landowner receives the report or three
business days before the special commissioners' hearing - whichever is earlier. You may hire an appraiser or real
estate professional to help you determine the value of your private property. Additionally, you can hire an attorney
to represent you during condemnation proceedings.
At the condemnation hearing, the special commissioners will consider your evidence on the value of your
condemned property, the damages to remaining property, any value added to the remaining property as a result of
the condemnation, and the condemning entity's proposed use of your condemned property.
SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS'AWARD
After hearing evidence from all interested parties, the special commissioners will determine the amount of money
that you should be awarded to adequately compensate you for your property. The special commissioners' decision
is significant to you not only because it determines the amount that qualifies as adequate compensation, but also
because it impacts who pays for the cost of the condemnation proceedings. Under the Texas Property Code, if the
special commissioners' award is less than or equal to the amount the condemning entity offered to pay before the
proceedings began, then you may be financially responsible for the cost of the condemnation proceedings. However,
if the special commissioners' award is more than the condemning entity offered to pay before the proceedings began,
then the condemning entity will be responsible for the costs associated with the proceedings.
The special commissioners are required to provide the court that appointed them a written decision. That decision is
called the "Award.' The Award must be filed with the court and the court must send written notice of the Award to all
parties. After the Award is filed, the condemning entity may take possession of the property being condemned, even
if either party appeals the Award of the special commissioners. To take possession of the property, the condemning
entity must either pay the amount of the Award or deposit the amount of the Award into the court's registry. You
have the right to withdraw funds that are deposited into the registry of the court.
OBJECTION TO THE SPECIAL COMMRSSIONERS'AWARD
If either the landowner or the condemning entity is dissatisfied with the amount of the Award, either party can
formally object to the Award. In order to successfully make this valuation objection, it must be filed in writing with
the court. If neither party timely objects to the special commissioners' Award, the court will adopt the Award as the
final judgment of the court.
If a party timely objects to the special commissioners' Award, the court will hear the case in the same manner that
other civil cases are heard. Landowners who object to the Award and ask the court to hear the matter have the right
to a trial and can elect whether to have the case decided by a judge or jury. The allocation of any trial costs is decided
in the same manner that costs are allocated with the special commissioners' Award. After trial, either party may
appeal any judgment entered by the court.
DISMISSAL OF THE CONDEMNATION ACTION
A condemning entity may file a motion to dismiss the condemnation proceeding if it decides it no longer needs
your condemned property. If the court grants the motion to dismiss, the case is over and you are entitled to recover
reasonable and necessary fees for attorneys, appraisers, photographers, and for other expenses incurred to the date
of the hearing on the motion to dismiss.
If you wish to challenge the condemning entity's authority to take your property, you can lodge that challenge by
filing a motion to dismiss the condemnation proceeding. Such a motion to dismiss would allege that the condemning
entity did not have the right to condemn your property. For example, a landowner could challenge the condemning
entity's claim that it seeks to take the property for a public use. If the court grants the landowner's motion, the court
may award the landowner reasonable and necessary fees for attorneys, appraisers, photographers, and for other
expenses incurred to the date of the hearing or judgment.
R ELOCATffO ON COSTS
If you are displaced from your residence or place of business, you may be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable
expenses incurred while moving personal property from the residence or relocating the business to a new site.
However, during condemnation proceedings, reimbursement for relocation costs may not be available if those costs
are separately recoverable under another law. Texas law limits the total amount of available relocation costs to the
market value of the property being moved. Further, the law provides that moving costs are limited to the amount
that a move would cost if it were within 50 miles.
RECLAMATION OPTIONS
If private propertywas condemned by a governmental entity, and the public use for which the property was acquired
is canceled before that property is used for that public purpose, no actual progress is made toward the public use
within ten years or the property becomes unnecessary for public use within ten years, landowners may have the
right to repurchase the property for the price paid to the owner by the entity at the time the entity acquired the
property through eminent domain.
