DALLAS (June 2025) – FBFK Law attorney Richard L. “Rick” Spencer has earned top honors for co-authoring the Best CLE Paper at the 2024 State Bar of Texas Advanced Real Estate Law Course. Spencer co-wrote the paper with Reid Wilson of Wilson Cribbs + Goren, P.C., offering a timely and insightful analysis of the Uniform Easement Relocation Act (UERA) and its potential impact on Texas property law.
Their paper explores recent Texas case law, the legal implications, legislative history, and practical advantages to landowners of the proposed adoption of UERA in Texas. The authors carefully examine how the act would alter the longstanding rules governing easement relocation, particularly in the context of balancing private property rights with modern land use and development needs.
The recognition of this paper as the best CLE submission at the 2024 Advanced Real Estate Law Course underscores the importance of this evolving issue and the value of thoughtful, practitioner-oriented scholarship.
Rick Spencer, a trusted voice in Texas real estate law, focuses his practice on complex real estate transactions and litigation, with a deep understanding of land use, title, and development issues. His work continues to shape the way real estate law is practiced and taught across the state.
