This Texas easement form is a Right of Way Easement For Construction Improvements To Electrical Distribution Lines, provides the right to erect, place, construct, operate, repair, and maintain electrical utility lines. Provides: the right to erect, place, construct, operate, repair, maintain, relocate, and replace poles, wires, circuits, anchorages and all other necessary or desirable appurtenances for electric transmission and/or distribution lines or system along the course of right-of-way described; the right to relocate said lines in the same relative position to any adjacent road; the right to cut, trim, otherwise destroy, and keep clear of said lines and appurtenances all trees, shrubs, and other obstructions which, in the sole judgment of Grantee, may endanger or interfere with the proper maintenance and operation of said lines.
An easement gives one party the right to go onto another party's property. That property may be owned by a private person, a business entity, or a group of owners. Utilities often get easements that allow them to run pipes or phone lines beneath private property. Easements may be obtained for access to another property, called "access and egress", use of spring water, entry to make repairs on a fence or slide area, drive cattle across and other uses. The easement is a real property interest, but separate from the legal title of the owner of the underlying land.
