The statement noted that the state on January 6 secured a forfeiture judgment from the 51st Judicial District Court. Efforts to seize the property were initiated in 2012 by the Attorney General's Office.
"Law enforcement personnel are working with the occupants of the ranch to take all reasonable actions to assist with their departure of the property, to preserve the property, and to successfully execute the court order," the DPS said.
Criminal forfeiture judgements are quite common. They are taking the property to sell it to pay fines and restitution, I would guess.

usually they just take it, to take it. they claim it was purchased with illegal monies, typically
police departments love seizing people's property. it's pretty gross and a huge grey market created by the terrible WOD

Nope...they are taking it because they can.
Criminal forfeiture statutes are one of the most oft abused and freedom destroying tactics that the government has at its disposal.
