On Saturday, June 11, 2006, the Libertarian Party of Texas adopted their 2006 Party Platform. Under the heading of Toll Roads, is a plank specific to the Trans-Texas Corridor. It reads:

"Libertarians oppose the Trans Texas Corridor Act, a costly boondoggle intended to benefit land developers through the abuse of eminent domain and the power of highway monopoly. Further, we support legislation that would forbid tolls on any highway right of way which was obtained with tax dollars or through the use of eminent domain or condemnation."

And, under the section of their platform, titled Eminent Domain, is a call for a strong state prohibition against the use of eminent domain for private economic development. It reads:

"Libertarians would close the exceptions and loopholes in the state prohibition against the use of eminent domain for private economic development. Under no circumstances should government have the power to force the transfer of land from private entity to another against the will of the owner. Additionally, we believe that property owners displaced through eminent domain should be compensated 125% of the fair value of their property to compensate for their moving expenses and inconvenience."
