With lingering skepticism about Texas Central’s ability to build a high-speed rail line, landowners along the route want the company to be more forthcoming about the project’s status.

Texas Central has made little visible progress financing the high-speed rail project and acquiring property for the route in recent years. The company maintains that the bullet train is still being developed but declined to provide details about the path forward.

A rural Texas landowner is battling Texas Central in a lawsuit that hinges on whether the company can forcibly take parcels needed to connect the state’s two biggest urban areas.

HOUSTON – The trip between Dallas and Houston is about to get a lot more comfortable, at least according to the developers of the “Texas Bullet Train.”Texas Central Railway is offering a first look at what the new high-speed train will look like and explained some of its features. According to the Dallas-based company, unlike airplanes, passengers will no longer have to worry about getting stuck with the middle seat. The train connecting Houston and Dallas will have no middle seat and will provide reclining seats and an extra foot of legroom compared to standard airlines. Texas Central said the train will also meet or exceed all ADA specifications, making it easier for passengers with disabilities to make the trip between Houston and Dallas.
