Tex. Transp. Code § 203.069 · Subchapter D. ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY
COVENANTS, CONDITIONS, RESTRICTIONS, OR LIMITATIONS.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
Covenants, conditions, restrictions, or limitations affecting property acquired in any manner by the department are not binding against the department and do not impair the department's ability to use the property for a purpose authorized by this chapter. The beneficiaries of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, or limitations are not entitled to enjoin the department from using the property for a purpose authorized under this chapter, but this section does not affect the right of a person to seek damages to the person's property under Section 17, Article I, Texas Constitution.
