ment. The rancher can continue to use the surface after the pipeline is buried, although he or she cannot place buildings over it. The com- pany is obligated under the Natural Resources Code, found at www.stat- utes.legis.state.tx.us (select Natural Resources code from the “Code” dropdown menu) to negotiate a fa- vorable deal with the landowner. If the parties cannot agree during


easement negotiations, the eminent domain process kicks in.


If an oil and gas company


was getting close to me, and I owned valuable property, the fi rst thing I would do is to fi nd a good oil and gas


attorney who is an expert in eminent domain.


This company’s representatives


sign the Texas Railroad Commis- sion’s T-4 Pipeline Form, to claim common carrier status, which gives it the right and power of eminent domain. The company declares it is pro-


viding a pipeline that will be avail- able to 2 or more companies, so it is in the public interest. The com- pany also verifi es its common car- rier claim with a sworn statement and documentation to support this classifi cation. In Texas, the Natural Resources


Code defines a common carrier. A new, revised T-4 form, effective March 1, 2015, requires pipeline op- erators that claim common carrier status to confi rm their knowledge of eminent domain provisions in Chapter 21 of the Texas Property Code, and the Texas Landowner’s Bill of Rights. The Texas Railroad Commission


approves the majority of these ap- plications.
