Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Does Chapter 21 of the Texas Property Code violate the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution by failing to require adequate compensation to a property owner whose property is taken for public use? Does Texas violate the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution by refusing to consider sign rental income of billboards located on real property taken under the principle of eminent domain? Does Texas’ refusal to recognize sign rental income from billboards on real property violate the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, when other income producing properties, such as motel rental income or oil and gas revenue benefit from consideration of their income for purposes of valuation?
