Purpose of This Brochure This brochure is intended to provide landowners with information about proposed new transmission lines and the Public Utility Commission’s (“PUC” or “Commission”) process for evaluating these proposals. At the end of the brochure is a list of sources for additional information. The following topics are covered in this brochure: How the PUC evaluates whether a new transmission line should be built, How you can participate in the PUC’s evaluation of a line, and How utilities acquire the right to build a transmission line on private property.
You are receiving the enclosed formal notice because one or more of the routes for a proposed transmission line may require an easement or other property interest across your property, or the centerline of the proposed project may come within 300 feet of a house or other habitable structure on your property. This distance is expanded to 500 feet if the proposed line is greater than 230 kilovolts (kV). For this reason, your property is considered directly affected land. This brochure is being included as part of the formal notice process. If you have questions about the proposed routes for a transmission line, you may contact the applicant. The applicant also has a more detailed map of the proposed routes for the transmission line and nearby habitable structures. The applicant may help you understand the routing of the project and the application approval process in a transmission line case but cannot provide legal advice or represent you. The applicant cannot predict which route may or may not be approved by the PUC. The PUC decides which route to use for the transmission line, and the applicant is not obligated to keep you informed of the PUC’s proceedings. The only way to fully participate in the PUC’s decision on where to locate the transmission line is to intervene, which is discussed below. The PUC is sensitive to the impact that transmission lines have on private property. At the same time, transmission lines deliver electricity to millions of homes and businesses in Texas, and new lines are sometimes needed so that customers can obtain reliable, economical power. The PUC’s job is to decide whether a transmission line application should be approved and on which route the line should be constructed. The PUC values input from landowners and encourages you to participate in this process by intervening in the docket. PUC Transmission Line Case Texas law provides that most utilities must file an application with the PUC to obtain or amend a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) in order to build a new transmission line in Texas. The law requires the PUC to consider a number of factors in deciding whether to approve a proposed new transmission line. The PUC may approve an application to obtain or amend a CCN for a transmission line after considering the following factors: • Adequacy of existing service; • Need for additional service; • The effect of approving the application on the applicant and any utility serving the proximate area; • Whether the route utilizes existing compatible rights-of-way, including the use of vacant positions on existing
multiple-circuit transmission lines; • Whether the route parallels existing compatible rights-of-way; • Whether the route parallels property lines or other natural or cultural features; • Whether the route conforms with the policy of prudent avoidance (which is defined as the limiting of exposures to
electric and magnetic fields that can be avoided with reasonable investments of money and effort); and • Other factors such as community values, recreational and park areas, historical and aesthetic values, environmental
integrity, and the probable improvement of service or lowering of cost to consumers in the area. If the PUC decides an application should be approved, it will grant to the applicant a CCN or CCN amendment to allow for the construction and operation of the new transmission line.
1264
3.
Application to Obtain or Amend a CCN: An application to obtain or amend a CCN describes the proposed line and includes a statement from the applicant describing the need for the line and the impact of building it. In addition to the routes proposed by the applicant in its application, the possibility exists that additional routes may be developed, during the course of a CCN case, that could affect property in a different manner than the original routes proposed by the applicant. The PUC conducts a case to evaluate the impact of the proposed line and to decide which route should be approved. Landowners who would be affected by a new line can: informally file a protest, or formally participate in the case as an intervenor.
Filing a Protest (informal comments): If you do not wish to intervene and participate in a hearing in a CCN case, you may file comments. An individual or business or a group who files only comments for or against any aspect of the transmission line application is considered a “protestor.” Protestors make a written or verbal statement in support of or in opposition to the utility’s application and give information to the PUC staff that they believe supports their position. Protestors are not parties to the case, however, and do not have the right to:
Obtain facts about the case from other parties; Receive notice of a hearing, or copies of testimony and other documents that are filed in the case; Receive notice of the time and place for negotiations; File testimony and/or cross-examine witnesses; Submit evidence at the hearing; or Appeal P.U.C. decisions to the courts.
If you want to make comments, you may either send written comments stating your position, or you may make a statement on the first day of the hearing. If you have not intervened, however, you will not be able to participate as a party in the hearing. Only parties may submit evidence and the PUC must base its decision on the evidence. Intervening in a Case: To become an intervenor, you must file a statement with the PUC, no later than the date specified in the notice letter sent to you with this brochure, requesting intervenor status (also referred to as a party). This statement should describe how the proposed transmission line would affect your property. Typically, intervention is granted only to directly affected landowners. However, any landowner may request to intervene and obtain a ruling on his or her specific fact situation and concerns. A sample form for intervention and the filing address are attached to this brochure, and may be used to make your filing. A letter requesting intervention may also be used in lieu of the sample form for intervention. If you decide to intervene and become a party in a case, you will be required to follow certain procedural rules: You are required to timely respond to requests for information from other parties who seek information. If you file testimony, you must appear at a hearing to be cross-examined. If you file testimony or any letters or other documents in the case, you must send copies of the documents to every
party in the case and you must file multiple copies with the PUC. If you intend to participate at the hearing and you do not file testimony, you must at least file a statement of
position, which is a document that describes your position in the case. Failure to comply with these procedural rules may serve as grounds for you to be dismissed as an intervenor in the
case. If you wish to participate in the proceedings it is very important to attend any prehearing conferences.
Intervenors may represent themselves or have an attorney to represent them in a CCN case. If you intervene in a case, you may want an attorney to help you understand the PUC’s procedures and the laws and rules that the PUC applies in deciding whether to approve a transmission line. The PUC encourages landowners to intervene and become parties.
1265
4.
Stages of a CCN Case: If there are persons who intervene in the case and oppose the approval of the line, the PUC may refer the case to an administrative law judge (ALJ) at the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) to conduct a hearing, or the Commission may elect to conduct a hearing itself. The hearing is a formal proceeding, much like a trial, in which testimony is presented. In the event the case is referred to SOAH, the ALJ makes a recommendation to the PUC on whether the application should be approved and where and how the line should be routed. There are several stages of a CCN case: The ALJ holds a prehearing conference (usually in Austin) to set a schedule for the case. Parties to the case have the opportunity to conduct discovery; that is, obtain facts about the case from other parties. A hearing is held (usually in Austin), and parties have an opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses. Parties file written testimony before the date of the hearing. Parties that do not file written testimony or statements
of position by the deadline established by the ALJ may not be allowed to participate in the hearing on the merits. Parties may file written briefs concerning the evidence presented at the hearing, but are not required to do so. In deciding where to locate the transmission line and other issues presented by the application, the ALJ and
Commission rely on factual information submitted as evidence at the hearing by the parties in the case. In order to submit factual information as evidence (other than through cross-examination of other parties’ witnesses), a party must have intervened in the docket and filed written testimony on or before the deadline set by the ALJ.
The ALJ makes a recommendation, called a proposal for decision, to the Commission regarding the case. Parties who disagree with the ALJ’s recommendation may file exceptions.
The Commissioners discuss the case and decide whether to approve the application. The Commission may approve the ALJ’s recommendation, approve it with specified changes, send the case back to the ALJ for further consideration, or deny the application. The written decision rendered by the Commission is called a final order. Parties who believe that the Commission’s decision is in error may file motions for rehearing, asking the Commission to reconsider the decision.
After the Commission rule on the motion for rehearing, parties have the right to appeal the decision to district court in Travis County.
Right to Use Private Property The Commission is responsible for deciding whether to approve a CCN application for a proposed transmission line. If a transmission line route is approved that impacts your property, the electric utility must obtain the right from you to enter your property and to build, operate, and maintain the transmission line. This right is typically called an easement. Utilities may buy easements through a negotiated agreement, but they also have the power of eminent domain (condemnation) under Texas law. Local courts, not the PUC, decide issues concerning easements for rights-of-way. The PUC does not determine the value of property. The PUC final order in a transmission case normally requires a utility to take certain steps to minimize the impact of the new transmission line on landowners’ property and on the environment. For example, the order normally requires steps to minimize the possibility of erosion during construction and maintenance activities.

HOW TO OBTAIN MORE INFORMATION The PUC’s online filings interchange on the PUC website provides free access to documents that are filed with the Commission in Central Records. The docket number, also called a control number on the PUC website, of a case is a key piece of information used in locating documents in the case. You may access the Interchange by visiting the PUC’s website home page at www.puc.state.tx.us and navigate the website as follows:
Select “Interchange Retrieval.” Select “Retrieve Filings.” Select “Filings Search” Enter 5-digit Control (Docket) Number. No other information is necessary. Select “Search.” All of the filings in the docket will appear in order of date filed. Scroll down to select desired filing. Click on a blue “Item” number at left. Click on a “Download” icon at left.
Documents may also be purchased from and filed in Central Records. For more information on how to purchase or file documents, call Central Records at the PUC at 512-936-7180. PUC Substantive Rule 25.101, Certification Criteria, addresses transmission line CCNs and is available on the PUC’s website, or you may obtain copies of PUC rules from Central Records. Always include the docket number on all filings with the PUC. You can find the docket number on the enclosed formal notice. Send documents to the PUC at the following address. Public Utility Commission of Texas Central Records Attn: Filing Clerk 1701 N. Congress Avenue P.O. Box 13326 Austin, TX 78711-3326 The information contained within this brochure is not intended to provide a comprehensive guide to landowner rights and responsibilities in transmission line cases at the PUC. This brochure should neither be regarded as legal advice nor should it be a substitute for the PUC’s rules. However, if you have questions about the process in transmission line cases, you may call the PUC’s Legal Division at 512-936-7261. The PUC’s Legal Division may help you understand the process in a transmission line case but cannot provide legal advice or represent you in a case. You may choose to hire an attorney to decide whether to intervene in a transmission line case, and an attorney may represent you if you choose to intervene. Communicating with Decision-Makers Do not contact the ALJ or the Commissioners by telephone or email. They are not allowed to discuss pending cases with you. They may make their recommendations and decisions only by relying on the evidence, written pleadings, and arguments that are presented in the case.

THE STATE OF TEXAS
LANDOWNER’S BILL OF RIGHTS
PREPARED BY THE
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS
1269
1. You are entitled to receive adequate compensation if your property is taken for a public use.
2. Your property can only be taken for a public use.
3. Your property can only be taken by a governmental entity or private entity authorized by law to do so.
4. The entity that wants to take your property must notify you that it wants to take your property.
5. The entity proposing to take your property must provide you with a written appraisal from a certified appraiser detailing the adequate compensation you are owed for your property.
6. The entity proposing to take your property must make a bona fide offer to buy the property before it files a lawsuit to condemn the property – which means the condemning entity must make a good faith offer that conforms with Chapter 21 of the Texas Property Code.
7. You may hire an appraiser or other professional to
determine the value of your property or to assist you in any condemnation proceeding.
8. You may hire an attorney to negotiate with the condemning entity and to represent you in any legal proceedings involving the condemnation.
9. Before your property is condemned, you are entitled to a hearing before a court appointed panel that includes three special commissioners. The special commissioners must determine the amount of compensation the condemning entity owes for the taking of your property. The commissioners must also determine what compensation, if any, you are entitled to receive for any reduction in value of your remaining property.
10. If you are unsatisfied with the compensation awarded by the special commissioners, or if you question whether the taking of your property was proper, you have the right to a trial by a judge or jury. If you are dissatisfied with the trial court’s judgment, you may appeal that decision.
This Landowner’s Bill of Rights applies to any attempt by the government or a private entity to take your property. The contents of this Bill of Rights are prescribed by the Texas Legislature in Texas Government Code Sec. 402.031 and Chapter 21 of the Texas Property Code.
CONDEMNATION PROCEDUREEminent domain is the legal authority that certain entities are granted that allows those entities to take private property for a public use. Private property can include land and certain improvements that are on that property.
Private property may only be taken by a governmental entity or private entity that is authorized by law to do so. Your property may be taken only for a public purpose. That means it can only be taken for a purpose or use that serves the general public. Texas law prohibits condemnation authorities from taking your property to enhance tax revenues or foster economic development.
Your property cannot be taken without adequate compensation. Adequate compensation includes the market value of the property being taken. It may also include certain damages if your remaining property’s market value is diminished by the acquisition itself or by the way the condemning entity will use the property.
STATE OF TEXAS LANDOWNER’S BILL OF RIGHTS
1270
HOW THE TAKING PROCESS BEGINSThe taking of private property by eminent domain must follow certain procedures. First, the entity that wants to condemn your property must provide you a copy of this Landowner’s Bill of Rights before - or at the same time - the entity first represents to you that it possesses eminent domain authority.
Second, if it has not been previously provided, the condemning entity must send this Landowner’s Bill of Rights to the last known address of the person who is listed as the property owner on the most recent tax roll. This requirement stipulates that the Landowner’s Bill of Rights must be provided to the property owner at least seven days before the entity makes a final offer to acquire the property.
Third, the condemning entity must make a bona fide offer to purchase the property. The requirements for a bona fide offer are contained in Chapter 21 of the Texas Property Code. At the time a purchase offer is made, the condemning entity must disclose any appraisal reports it produced or acquired that relate specifically to the property and were prepared in the ten years preceding the date of the purchase offer. You have the right to discuss the offer with others and to either accept or reject the offer made by the condemning entity.
CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGSIf you and the condemning entity do not agree on the value of your property, the entity may begin condemnation proceedings. Condemnation is the legal process that eligible entities utilize to take private property. It begins with a condemning entity filing a claim for your property in court. If you live in a county where part of the property being condemned is located, the claim must be filed in that county. Otherwise, the condemnation claim can be filed in any county where at least part of the property being condemned is located. The claim must describe the property being condemned, state with specificity the public use, state the name of the landowner, state that the landowner and the condemning entity were unable to agree on the value of the property, state that the condemning entity provided the landowner with the Landowner’s Bill of Rights, and state that the condemning entity made a bona fide offer to acquire the property from the property owner voluntarily.
SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS’ HEARINGAfter the condemning entity files a condemnation claim in court, the judge will appoint three local landowners to serve as special commissioners. The judge will give you a reasonable period to strike one of the special commissioners. If a commissioner is struck, the judge will appoint a replacement. These special commissioners must live in the county where the condemnation proceeding is filed, and they must take an oath to assess the amount of adequate compensation fairly, impartially, and according to the law. The special commissioners are not legally authorized to decide whether the condemnation is necessary or if the public use is proper. Their role is limited to assessing adequate compensation for you. After being appointed, the special commissioners must schedule a hearing at the earliest practical time and place. The special commissioners are also required to give you written notice of the condemnation hearing.
You are required to provide the condemning entity any appraisal reports that were used to determine your claim about adequate compensation for the condemned property. Under a new law enacted in 2011, landowners’ appraisal reports must be provided to the condemning entity either ten days after the landowner receives the report or three business days before the special commissioners’ hearing - whichever is earlier. You may hire an appraiser or real estate professional to help you determine the value of your private property. Additionally, you can hire an attorney to represent you during condemnation proceedings.
At the condemnation hearing, the special commissioners will consider your evidence on the value of your condemned property, the damages to remaining property, any value added to the remaining property as a result of the condemnation, and the condemning entity’s proposed use of your condemned property.
1271
SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS’ AWARDAfter hearing evidence from all interested parties, the special commissioners will determine the amount of money that you should be awarded to adequately compensate you for your property. The special commissioners’ decision is significant to you not only because it determines the amount that qualifies as adequate compensation, but also because it impacts who pays for the cost of the condemnation proceedings. Under the Texas Property Code, if the special commissioners’ award is less than or equal to the amount the condemning entity offered to pay before the proceedings began, then you may be financially responsible for the cost of the condemnation proceedings. However, if the special commissioners’ award is more than the condemning entity offered to pay before the proceedings began, then the condemning entity will be responsible for the costs associated with the proceedings.
The special commissioners are required to provide the court that appointed them a written decision. That decision is called the “Award.” The Award must be filed with the court and the court must send written notice of the Award to all parties. After the Award is filed, the condemning entity may take possession of the property being condemned, even if either party appeals the Award of the special commissioners. To take possession of the property, the condemning entity must either pay the amount of the Award or deposit the amount of the Award into the court’s registry. You have the right to withdraw funds that are deposited into the registry of the court.
OBJECTION TO THE SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS’ AWARDIf either the landowner or the condemning entity is dissatisfied with the amount of the Award, either party can formally object to the Award. In order to successfully make this valuation objection, it must be filed in writing with the court. If neither party timely objects to the special commissioners’ Award, the court will adopt the Award as the final judgment of the court.
If a party timely objects to the special commissioners’ Award, the court will hear the case in the same manner that other civil cases are heard. Landowners who object to the Award and ask the court to hear the matter have the right to a trial and can elect whether to have the case decided by a judge or jury. The allocation of any trial costs is decided in the same manner that costs are allocated with the special commissioners’ Award. After trial, either party may appeal any judgment entered by the court.
DISMISSAL OF THE CONDEMNATION ACTIONA condemning entity may file a motion to dismiss the condemnation proceeding if it decides it no longer needs your condemned property. If the court grants the motion to dismiss, the case is over and you are entitled to recover reasonable and necessary fees for attorneys, appraisers, photographers, and for other expenses incurred to the date of the hearing on the motion to dismiss.
If you wish to challenge the condemning entity’s authority to take your property, you can lodge that challenge by filing a motion to dismiss the condemnation proceeding. Such a motion to dismiss would allege that the condemning entity did not have the right to condemn your property. For example, a landowner could challenge the condemning entity’s claim that it seeks to take the property for a public use. If the court grants the landowner’s motion, the court may award the landowner reasonable and necessary fees for attorneys, appraisers, photographers, and for other expenses incurred to the date of the hearing or judgment.
1272
RELOCATION COSTSIf you are displaced from your residence or place of business, you may be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred while moving personal property from the residence or relocating the business to a new site. However, during condemnation proceedings, reimbursement for relocation costs may not be available if those costs are separately recoverable under another law. Texas law limits the total amount of available relocation costs to the market value of the property being moved. Further, the law provides that moving costs are limited to the amount that a move would cost if it were within 50 miles.
RECLAMATION OPTIONSIf private property was condemned by a governmental entity, and the public use for which the property was acquired is canceled before that property is used for that public purpose, no actual progress is made toward the public use within ten years or the property becomes unnecessary for public use within ten years, landowners may have the right to repurchase the property for the price paid to the owner by the entity at the time the entity acquired the property through eminent domain.
DISCLAIMERThe information in this statement is intended to be a summary of the applicable portions of Texas state law as required by HB 1495, enacted by the 80th Texas Legislature, Regular Session. This statement is not legal advice and is not a substitute for legal counsel.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES Further information regarding the procedures, timelines and requirements outlined in this document can be found in Chapter 21 of the Texas Property Code.
