When TxDOT receives the documents proposed by the AAG for e-filing ED proceedings, ROW PD should send a copy of the proposed Plaintiff's Statement (Original Petition) to the title company involved in the ED proceedings, for approval of the parties joined in the lawsuit to ensure the State secures clear title to the property interest.

If any error was made in naming the parties, or if a of additional parties becomes necessary, TxDOT must immediately notify the OAG so that corrective action can be taken, preferably before the petition for condemnation is filed and, in any event, sufficiently in advance of the special commissioners' hearing to permit the petition to be amended and the additional party to be served with timely notice of hearing.
