Eviction for Cause
A displacee who lawfully occupies real property on the date
negotiations are initiated is assumed to be entitled to relocation
payments and other assistance described in this manual, unless TxDOT determines
that:
- the displacee received an eviction notice before initiating negotiations and is then evicted as a result of that eviction notice; or
- the displacee is evicted after initiation of negotiations for other reasons.
In neither of the above cases, can the eviction occur for
the purpose of evading TxDOT's obligation to make available payments
and other assistance. Eviction by TxDOT for failure to move or cooperate
in the relocation process does not negate the displaced person’s
eligibility for assistance and/or payments.
