State of Tex. v. Speedway Grapevine I, LLC, No. 02-16-00144-CV (Oct. 19, 2017) (Meier, J., joined by Sudderth, C.J., and Kerry FitzGerald (Senior Justice, Retired, Sitting by Assignment)).

Held:  High met his burden to establish a valid factual basis to support his opinion that the market value of Speedway’s property before the condemnation was just over $5.4 million; McRoberts’s damage opinions were neither conclusory nor speculative, nor did they improperly incorporate noncompensable impairment-of-access damages; and the jury’s finding that the remainder property sustained damages in the amount of $4,401,028.00 fell within the range of evidence admitted at trial.
