In addition to the provision for the LPA use of the state’s appraiser in condemnation, the state will also participate in the cost of contracting with expert witnesses or technical experts. When the LPA wants the state to share in the cost of employing an expert witness or technical expert for use in condemnation proceedings, it will contact ROW PD for guidance and instructions. ROW PD will place such witness or expert under contract with TxDOT.
