Full Text of § 1265.010
Plain-English Summary
Chapter 10 spells out detailed rules for apportioning a condemnation award among lessees, lienholders, and holders of future interests like remainders and reversions. This opening section makes clear those rules are not the whole story. The chapter provides specific procedures for the interests it covers, but it does not otherwise limit or affect the right to compensation for any other interest in property.
In practice, that means someone holding a property interest the chapter does not specifically address -- an easement, a license, or some other arrangement -- is not left without a remedy just because Chapter 10 does not mention it by name. The general law of eminent domain compensation still applies to interests outside this chapter's specific categories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Chapter 10 cover every kind of property interest that might exist in condemned property?
No -- only leases, encumbrances, and future interests get their own articles; other interests remain compensable under general law.
What is the purpose of this opening section?
To confirm that Chapter 10's specific rules do not cut off compensation rights for interests the chapter does not address.
