Texas Easement Action Alliance Launches Billboard Campaign: No Eminent Domain, Stop The DeLa Express Pipeline
Coleman County, TX — Landowners across Texas and Louisiana who face eminent domain seizure of their property for Moss Lake Partners' proposed DeLa Express petrochemicals pipeline today launched a billboard campaign to spread awareness about the abuse of eminent domain for private gain pipelines.

The six billboards feature messages from landowners: “American Energy Protects Property Rights”, “No Eminent Domain for Private Gain,” and “No DeLa Express Pipeline,” and will be running through April at several locations in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline route in Midland, Beaumont, and Brownwood, TX.
Landowners working with the the Texas Easement Action Alliance landowners’ legal co-op report that Moss Lake Partners has not been in contact with them for months, and efforts to get an update from contractors for the company working on the DeLa project turned up evidence that Moss Lake is no longer pursuing objectives on the ground towards moving forward with the pipeline.
“We speak with landowners every day who are opposed to the taking of their land by eminent domain for private projects. These billboards represent our commitment to protect Texas land from corporate abuse. We encourage folks interested in learning more about their rights to look up the Texas Easement Action Alliance landowner legal co-op and get in touch with us," said Jay Mania, Landowner Organizer with Bold’s Texas Easement Action Alliance.
“With these billboards, we hope that Texas landowners will recognize that they aren’t standing alone. Texans across the state are demanding a level playing field from corporations looking to undermine the constitutional property rights of landowners,” said Emma Schmit, Bold Alliance's Pipeline Fighters Director.

About Bold:
The Bold Alliance and Bold Education Fund are coordinating state-based groups with our Pipeline Fighters Hub and landowner legal groups called the Easement Action Teams to stop carbon pipelines from using eminent domain for private gain. We believe that carbon capture and storage (CCS) is unproven and overly expensive and wastefully incentivized approach to climate change, and that the carbon pipelines needed for CCS are poorly planned, under-regulated, and risky infrastructure. These huge and complex projects should not move forward until counties, states and the federal government prove first that they are a better climate solution than renewable energy, and second that safety, planning, and routing standards are in place to avoid inefficient chaotic development driven by wasteful federal spending.
