Many entities (including untold municipal entities)in Texas lost the power of eminent domain recently, I think this is the section or one very similar that was being discussed:
(c) The authority of an entity to exercise the power of eminent domain expires on September 1, 2013, unless the entity submits a letter in accordance with Subsection (b).
(The municipalities that had not recently exercised eminent domain lost the power to do so.)
2013 was a while ago, these entities, many non-governmental, have the power of eminent domain in Texas:
