One of Texas’ state parks that’s been at the center of a months-long property rights saga — which isn’t showing signs of being over anytime soon — has closed to the public for the second time this year and possibly forever.
late last month that state park officials made an offer to purchase the contract from his family’s firm and Todd Interests responded almost immediately to the offer “that would have been an incredible win for the state of Texas and at a significant sacrifice to our family,” but hadn’t heard back. He said the firm then decided to move forward with its plans.
A note at the top of Fairfield Lake’s page on the TPWD website posted Saturday said the park would be closing to the public at 10 p.m. Sunday. The public also won’t be able to access two boat ramps and a fish pier on Fairfield Lake. Condemning land is one way the government can seize property from a private owner for public use. This action falls underSince the park closed to the public in February before“We look forward to having the opportunity to welcome you again someday,” the department’s executive director David Yoskowitz said in a release.
