Description
These are condemnation cases. In separate causes, the State of Texas, appellant, acting by and through the State Highway and Public Transportation Commission, brought condemnation proceedings against Shirrell D. Hipp, et al., and C. Milton Dowd, et al. (collectively, "the landowners"), appellees, to acquire property for a highway project. Both cases were tried to a jury, and in each cause the jury failed to find that the State negotiated with the landowners in good faith for the purchase of the properties before bringing the condemnation actions. Following the return of the jurys verdict, the trial court in each case dismissed the States condemnation suit and awarded attorneys fees to the landowners. The State has perfected an appeal in each cause. We will reverse the trial courts dismissal of cause number 3-91-053-CV (the "Hipp case") and render judgment in accordance with the jury finding as to the value of the property being taken by the State; we will affirm the judgment of the trial court in cause number 3-91-215-CV (the "Dowd case").
