When property is acquired in fee or easement in the State's name in condemnation proceedings, title to all

fixed improvements

located on the property should also be acquired. The sample forms provided in this manual incorporate acquisition of improvements. These sample forms are not always used, however, and TxDOT should emphasize to any LPA the need to acquire fixed improvements. Improvements acquired by the State in condemnation will be disposed of in the same manner as improvements acquired by negotiation.
