On October 25, 2019 the Seller of the property was awarded $320,000 in damages by a panel of Special Commissioners in a hearing in Gillespie County. On or about January 24, 2020, the Court entered an Order accepting deposit of the amount of the Special Commissioners award.
On or about November 5, 2019, Permian Highway Pipeline, LLC filed an Objection to the Special Commissioners award, which is an indication that PHP will appeal the award. The $320,000 may withdrawn from the court by the owner of the property at any time, but the owner has chosen not to do so. If PHP is successful in their appeal, there is a risk that the award could be reduced, whereby the owner of the property at that time would be required to repay the difference.

The Buyer will have the option to retain Mr. Brandys for representation in this ongoing matter.
Upon closing, the Seller conveys and assigns to Buyer all of the Sellers right, title, and interest in the Condemnation Proceeding including any and all awards, judgements, and/or decrees including all compensation of any kind and nature, remainder damages, and sums on deposit with the court.
