Property Code, Section 21.047

provides for setting fees for services by the special commissioners. The presiding judge has jurisdiction for setting a reasonable fee for each special commissioner. Submit payment requests through TxC for special commissioners' fees.

Supporting documentation to upload to OnBase for special commissioners' fees payment request:

copy of the commissioners' award showing the fees set by the judge;
or
copy of an order by the judge setting the fees.

Any variation in the names of commissioners used requires an affirmation by TxDOT that the person's name shown in the award and the person's name appearing differently is the same person. For this reason, the special commissioners should sign the award exactly as their names appear in the award or order appointing the commissioners. If the case is dismissed, then the payment request must include a fully signed copy of the Order of Dismissal.

Other ED costs will also require payment requests created in TxC for payment. The following subsection provides information required for each situation.
