Kinder Morgan Trident Pipeline: Final Offers Sent, Condemnation Filings Coming Next

Summary of Kinder Morgan Trident Pipeline: Final Offers Sent, Condemnation Filings Coming Next

Attorney Phil Hundl provides a timely update on the Kinder Morgan Trident Pipeline—a 216-mile, up to 48-inch diameter, high-pressure natural gas project impacting several Texas counties. With final offers now delivered, landowners should prepare for the next step: condemnation filings.

Key Takeaways for Landowners:

  • Most affected landowners have now received final offer letters with appraisals
  • Condemnation petitions are expected soon—don’t be surprised if you’re served
  • It’s critical to speak with an attorney experienced in eminent domain to protect your rights and understand the process

Project Overview: Route and Counties Impacted

The route begins in Katy, loops around the north side of Houston, and continues southeast into Jefferson County.

Counties impacted include:

  • Waller
  • Grimes
  • Harris (portions)
  • Walker
  • San Jacinto
  • Liberty
  • Jefferson

Current Stage: Final Offers and Appraisals Delivered

Many landowners along the proposed route have now received:

  • Initial offer letters
  • Final offer packets, which include formal appraisals

Next Step: Condemnation Filings Expected

Philip warns landowners to expect condemnation petitions to be filed soon by Kinder Morgan’s legal team, which includes three different law firms. This is a common part of the eminent domain process when a pipeline company cannot secure easement agreements through negotiation.

Legal Guidance Strongly Recommended

If you are a landowner who has received either an initial or final offer and haven’t yet spoken with an attorney, now is the time to act. An attorney experienced in eminent domain can help you:

  • Understand your rights
  • Navigate the condemnation process
  • Ensure that Kinder Morgan follows the legal procedures required by Texas law
