Summary of the FM 2920 Road Expansion Project
Hello, I’m Phil Hundl, bringing you an important update regarding a TxDOT road expansion project in Texas. While we often focus on pipeline and powerline projects, there’s a multitude of TxDOT and county road expansions happening statewide. Today, I want to talk about one significant project located in Harris County, a road expansion project on FM 2920 between Waller and Tomball in Harris County, Texas.
The Project Overview
This project is on FM 2920, stretching between Waller and Tomball, as well as from State Highway 249 in Tomball to I-45. Such road expansions are notoriously slow to develop; for instance, the last public meeting for this project took place back in 2020. Now, landowners in the area are being approached by right-of-way agents.
Land Acquisition and Your Rights
The firm handling right-of-way acquisition is Perches Land Acquisitions, among others. These firms are reaching out to landowners with initial and sometimes final offers, often accompanied by appraisals. It’s crucial for landowners to understand their rights under the Texas property code, which requires a 30-day response period before any condemnation steps can proceed.
Miscommunications and Clarifications
Sometimes right-of-way acquisition companies present information in ways that might be misunderstood by landowners. My aim here is to clarify these issues and provide additional resources to you.
Navigating the TxDOT Website
I’ll guide you through using the TxDOT website to access valuable information. The TxDOT homepage is user-friendly, allowing you to search for specific projects—like this FM 2920 expansion. By exploring the Project Tracker, you can find essential details about how these projects may affect your property.
Understanding Project Impacts
For landowners along FM 2920, it’s important to know how the expansion might encroach up to 200-300 feet deep into properties. The road has significant development potential, with high valuations for subdivision or commercial use. Ensuring accurate assessments, and understanding impacts, could require consultation with a knowledgeable attorney.
Preparing for Potential Condemnation
As these projects progress, staying informed and prepared is crucial. Should you find yourself contacted by a right-of-way acquisition company, seek legal counsel experienced in representing landowners in eminent domain cases.
Conclusion
By equipping yourself with the right information and representation, you can better navigate the complexities of road expansion projects and potential condemnations. I hope this has been a helpful overview. For further information on TxDOT projects, make sure to frequently visit their website and consult with professionals as needed. Good luck, and thank you for your attention.
