The agency's appraisers work for the agency — not for you. Their initial offer routinely omits significant categories of compensation you may be entitled to under Texas law.
When TxDOT takes a portion of your land, the value of what's left behind may drop significantly. You're entitled to compensation for that loss.
Farmland and ranchland in Hidalgo County has active agricultural value. TxDOT's appraisal may undervalue or entirely miss lost crop income.
If the taking cuts off your road frontage, access to an irrigation canal, or access to portions of your tract, that's a compensable damage.
Irrigation lines, pumps, and water rights serving affected parcels may require relocation or may be permanently lost — these have real value.
If you operate a business on or near the affected property, certain types of business losses may be compensable depending on the circumstances.
Fences, outbuildings, gates, landscaping, and other improvements in the take area must be valued accurately in your compensation.
We work on contingency. You pay nothing unless we improve your offer.
Tell us about your property and TxDOT's offer. We evaluate every line item at no charge and identify where you've been shortchanged.

Yes. TxDOT is required to make a good-faith offer, but that offer is negotiable. You have the right to present your own appraisal and demand a higher amount. If TxDOT won't agree, they must file a condemnation suit and a court or jury determines compensation.
TxDOT does hire appraisers — but those appraisers work for TxDOT. An appraisal commissioned by TxDOT is not the same as an appraisal that advocates for your maximum value. You are entitled to hire your own appraiser.
Contact us anyway. Depending on when you signed and what was agreed, there may still be options. We review each situation individually at no charge.
