It is the customary practice to request the appraiser to appraise the value of fee simple title excluding oil, gas, and sulfur; however, in many instances there may be easements for public utility purposes on the property acquired. In such cases, TxDOT will acquire fee title subject to whatever public utility easements are in the area acquired. The appraiser should receive complete instructions regarding easements not to be acquired in the purchase of the fee title.
