IV. Condemnor has provided a copy of the Landowner's Bill of Rights statement to the property owner in accordance with ~ 21.0112 of the TEXAS PROPERTY CODE. v Condemnor brings this action pursuant to the pertinent provisions of SS 21.001 through 21065, both inclusive. of the TEXAS PROPERTY CODE, as amended. VI. Condemnor is a gas utility as defined by S 121.001 of the TExA.s UTILITIES CODE because it owns and operates a pipeline that distributes and transports natural gas in the State of Texas. Pursuant to S 181.001 of the TEXAS UTILITIES CODE, Condemnor is also a gas corporation and. therefore, has the right of eminent domain and power of condemnation pursuant to the laws of the State of Texas. including S 181.004 of the TEXAS UTILITIES CODE. VII. Condemnor has determined that there exists a public necessity to construct, maintain and operate a pipeline and appurtenant facilities through the tract owned by Condemnee(s) in this county as described and depicted in Exhibit "A" to Exhibit "I" attached hereto and fully incorporated herein. Specifically. Condemnor seeks the same rights and terms as those set forth in the "Grant of Easement" document attached hereto as Exhibit "1" and fully incorporated herein, Condemnor does not seek warranty of title, and other rights and terms, which legally may not be acquired through eminent domain.

VIII. Condemnor, acting by and through its duly authorized agent(s), has made a bona fide attempt to acquire by purchase, and offered to pay such reasonable damages, if any, as might resull from the acquisition and use of the right(s), but Condemnor, acting by and through its duly authorized agems(s), and Lando\vncr has been unable to agree upon the value of these rights: therefore. it ha,> become necessary to institute this proceeding. IX. Condemnor has determined that the public convenience and necessity for reliable service require Condemnor to construct, operate. and maintain the proposed facilities through Lando\-\11er's Property. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Condemnor pmys that this Honorable Court forthwith appoint three (3) disinterested freeholders of this County as Special Commissioners as ;~S92!
