About Erick

Erick Holguin is a Texas trial lawyer with Perez Law Firm, PLLC, a civil litigation and trial firm with offices in McAllen and Houston. He represents landowners throughout the State of Texas in condemnation cases brought by TxDOT, cities, counties, pipeline companies and electric transmission companies.

Condemnation cases are won on facts: how the land is used today, what it could reasonably become, and how the taking changes the property that remains. Erick builds those facts with appraisers, surveyors and land planners, and he prepares every case to be presented to special commissioners and, when necessary, a jury.

Many Texas landowners are families who have held their land for generations, sometimes with title shared among heirs. Erick explains every step in plain English or Spanish so clients can make decisions with confidence.

His approach

• Start with the documents. The offer, the easement and the appraisal show what the condemnor assumed, and what it left out.
• Build value with experts. Independent appraisers and land planners who understand condemnation.
• Negotiate terms, not just price. Easement language can matter for decades.
• Prepare for trial from day one. Cases resolve best when the other side knows you are ready.
