At issue in this case is whether Texas Central qualifies as a "railroad company" or "interurban electric railway," and whether an entity must show reasonable probability of project completion to invoke eminent domain authority under Texas Rice Land Partners, LTD. v. Denbury Green Pipeline-Texas, LLC, 363 S.W.3d 192, 198, 202 (Tex. 2012). Texas Central intends to build, maintain, and operate a highspeed passenger railway between Houston and Dallas. Miles challenged Texas Central's eminent domain authority after the company attempted to survey Miles' property along the proposed route of the railway. Texas Central counterclaimed, seeking a declaratory judgment that the company was "railroad company" and "interurban electric railway" under the Texas Transportation Code. The trial court granted summary judgment for Miles. The court of appeals reversed, concluding that Texas Central was "operating a railroad" and thus, a "railroad company" under the statute. Additionally, the court of appeals concluded that, because Texas Central was chartered for the purpose required under the Transportation Code, the company also qualified as an "interurban electric railway."
