Possession and Use Agreements (PUAs) allow TxDOT to gain irrevocable possession of a parcel while at the same time allowing the landowner to continue contesting the ultimate compensation through the litigation process. The incentive is an independent market rental consideration paid to the property owner for the value of the advanced timing of possession.

PUAs with an incentive will be offered on every parcel, on every project, on a statewide basis.
