Granted by the Montgomery County District Court on September 15, 2025, broadly enjoining above-ground compressor activities near Bartholet Home Furnishings.
Blackfin issued a relocation notice on October 8, 2025, following the injunction—averting immediate risk to nearby properties.
On October 28, 2025, the Court denied Blackfin’s Motion for Clarification and enjoined all production and development on the property as to remaining pipeline appurtenances.
From Filing to Relocation
Bartholet Properties v. Blackfin Conroe Compressor Station
Our client—a multigenerational retail family operating in Conroe for over twenty years—faced the siting of a high-pressure compressor station approximately 137 feet from their established store. The case centered on enforcement of a restrictive covenant governing the use of the defendant’s property, which prohibited industrial and compressor-station activity of this nature.
By focusing on the plain terms and intent of the covenant, we demonstrated that Blackfin’s planned compressor-station use violated clear property restrictions designed to protect adjacent commercial operations. The injunction and subsequent rulings upheld the enforceability of those protections.
Result: The injunction, relocation, and subsequent clarification ruling safeguarded the Bartholet family business and affirmed the strength of property-based relief in pipeline disputes.
“We are deeply thankful to our attorney, Seth Rubinson, the Court, and our community for their unwavering support.”
