Right of Way · Eminent Domain &It takes a 200-foot right of way and towers up to 200 feet tall. They have a team — appraisers, right-of-way agents and lawyers who do this every day. You will find out by letter, and their number will already be written on it. Find out what your side of it is worth first.
No upfront cost. We are paid out of the increase above their first offer — if it does not move, you owe us nothing. If we look at your situation and do not believe we can move it, we tell you that too.
Drawn to the same scale — the pole by your road, a 345 kV tower, and the 765 kV structures going in on this project.
Tower heights are Oncor’s own published figures for these projects. A standard 40-foot distribution pole stands about 34 feet above ground. The permanent easement corridor runs roughly 200 feet wide.
Almost every condemnation case is a fight about a number, not about the law.
Four first offers that moved once somebody read the appraisal.
A photo of the offer is enough — a senior consultant reads it and tells you what we see.
Text (469) 484-7960 →Four documented matters, each traced from the original offer letter to final settlement — two utility easements and two highway condemnations, labelled on each. Not an average and not a prediction; when we look at yours and think the number is close to right, we tell you so. National ROW is a right-of-way consulting firm — not a law firm and not a tax advisor — and nothing here is legal or tax advice.
Each of those numbers was once a figure on a letter that somebody was told was fair. Send us yours — with their appraisal if they gave you one, a photo of the pages is enough — and a senior consultant will tell you what it left out.

This is the question that costs Texas landowners the most, because two dockets can cover the same county and be at completely different stages. Find the docket number on whatever you received and tap it below. If you cannot find one, tap the county list instead.
The route is chosen and Oncor is surveying and completing engineering before easement offers go out. If your land is on this one, acquisition has started but your written offer has most likely not arrived yet.
Free review by a senior consultant →Route chosen, acquisition underway. This corridor runs through sparsely built country, so fewer tracts are affected — but the ones that are, are being worked now.
Free review by a senior consultant →Not an Oncor project. AEP Texas and CPS Energy are the applicants, and the Commission selected Modified Route 4, which moves the line north of Uvalde County to parallel existing right of way. Routing is decided. What each owner is paid for it is not.
Free review by a senior consultant →No route has been chosen. This is still a study corridor, which means your tract may or may not end up on the line. Nothing has been decided about your land yet.
Free review by a senior consultant →No route has been chosen — still a study corridor. This case drew 6,600 filings, more than any other 765 kV docket, so it is being fought hard.
Free review by a senior consultant →A few counties sit in two dockets at once — Howard is crossed by both approved routes, and Crockett and Pecos are in an Oncor study area and the AEP study area at the same time. If the paperwork is confusing, that is not you.

On three of these the route has been chosen. On two it has not — and there, the corridor drawn in grey is a study area, not a route. This one page shows the difference, so you can see at a glance whether the letter you received is about a line that is fixed or a line that is still being argued over.
Approved is not the same as final: an order stays open to motions for rehearing, and six motions are pending across the two Oncor dockets — the window to file them closed 22 September 2026, so no more are coming. Rehearing rarely moves a centerline, and it does not pause anyone’s easement negotiation — but it does mean the file is not closed. Corridor geometry read from Oncor’s public CCN mapping service on 9 September 2026. Docket status verified against the PUCT Interchange on 24 September 2026. County boundaries from the US Census Bureau. This is an approximation for orientation — it is not a survey, not an appraisal, and not legal advice.
Routing is decided by the Commission. What you are paid for the easement is decided between you and a land agent — and that is the part a first offer usually gets wrong.

It arrives thick. Legal language, a plat you cannot read, an appraisal you did not order, a number already filled in, and a date near the bottom that makes it feel decided. It is built so that signing feels like the reasonable thing to do.
You are not stuck. The next few decisions just need to be made with better information than the envelope gave you.
Send it over with their appraisal if they gave you one — a photo of the pages is enough. A senior consultant reads it and tells you what their number left out and whether it can be moved.

A senior consultant reads every one of these and calls you back within the hour, 8am–6pm Central, Monday to Friday. Outside those hours, first thing the next morning.
We are paid out of the increase. If we look at your situation and do not believe we can move the number, we tell you that too — and you owe nothing either way.
Their right to take the land is usually not in question. What they owe you for it is.
Most owners work with one or the other. Our clients get both.
National ROW does not practice law, does not give legal advice, and does not represent anyone in court. Nothing here is legal advice, and contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship. That does not mean you face this alone — a senior consultant will tell you what your file needs and who should be on it.
Right-of-way agents are working the approved routes now. The best time to understand what your land is worth is before the first offer is in front of you with a signature line under it.
