Abstract

Part II of this comment will provide a brief history of the oil industry in Texas as well as the large impact it has had on Texans up to the present day. Part III will examine the history of eminent domain jurisprudence in Texas, and Part IV will explore how private companies have obtained and used the power of eminent domain to lay pipelines. Part V will demonstrate how the law has affected the residents of Tarrant and neighboring counties living within the Barnett Shale, and Part VI will suggest means for reform in these areas of the law.
