The ball is starting to roll

Last month, Guillermo and I attended two meetings concerning the flooding issues on our street. One was held in the city of San Antonio and the other was held here in Leon Valley. At the first meeting, we were told that the buyout was moving forward and at the second meeting, we were told there would be a meeting in August, at which time we'd receive letters requesting permission to access our property to do an appraisal. Well, we received that letter today. It has to be signed and returned within 5 days. It also included a Bexar County appraisal figure for our house, and we will fight the buyout if the amount we are offered is the figure on that letter. WAY too low. Supposedly, the appraisals will begin in mid-September.
