State Texas v. Ralph W. Clevenger Et Al‪.‬

This suit was brought by the State of Texas against appellees, Ralph W. Clevenger et al., to condemn for highway purposes 50,896 square feet of land out of a tract of 121,375 square feet. The issues in the trial court were confined to the market value of the land taken and damage to the remainder. From the judgment of the trial court, based upon the jury findings that the value of the land appropriated was $38,790.00, or approximately 76 cents per square foot, and the damage to the remainder was $10,999.72, the State has appealed.
