Texas: Another dumb high-speed rail project

Jewett, Texas – Yesterday landowner Jim Miles, of Jewett, filed his Texas Supreme Court brief to fight for the protection of private property rights related to the proposed Dallas Houston HSR. 

In the trial court, Miles obtained a final judgment against Texas Central Railroad & Infrastructure confirming that Texas Central is not a railroad and does not have eminent domain authority. 

The Texas Court of Appeals overturned that ruling earlier this year and Miles appealed to the Texas Supreme Court. After reading Miles’ petition, the Texas Supreme Court asked Jim to file a full brief on the merits. The full brief can be downloaded here...

Landowners in California face the same problem with this state's poorly-conceived, unfunded high-speed rail project.
