Lamar County Texas pipeline hearing awaits ruling
“A judge in Paris holds the fates of a North Texas landowner and a Canadian pipeline company after a hearing Friday over whether an eminent domain claim goes to full trial.
Meanwhile, crews who will lay the 485-mile Texas/Oklahoma leg of a 2,630-mile specialized pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast are settling into Lone Star State locations.
Julia Trigg Crawford and her family, owners of a Lamar County farm, filed suit in August 2011 to block pipeline company TransCanada from burrowing its Keystone Pipeline through their land.
The case, which has seen several delays, including a sidetrack through a Texarkana appeals court, is set for trial Sept. 4.”
