A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to dismissal of condemnation proceedings.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 21.019, Property Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (d) to read as follows:
(d) A court may not dismiss a condemnation proceeding for
failure of the condemning entity's petition to meet a requirement
of Section 21.012(b) unless the court has given the condemning
entity adequate time to cure the defect in the petition.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to the dismissal of a condemnation proceeding on or after the
effective date of this Act, without regard to whether the
condemnation petition was filed before, on, or after that date. The
dismissal of a condemnation proceeding before the effective date of
this Act is governed by the law in effect immediately before that
date, and that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2005.
