I read the link that Ewest provided. It was an eye opener regarding adverse possession in Texas. The most interesting (to me) part was the factoids at the bottom of the writing. The adverse possessor has the right to go to court and claim the land.

I assume (yeah, I know) that if the "trespasser" has not been to court, the original owner still reatins title and had better get his butt in gear and start fencing.

Reality check: If you are not a local resident, and the "trespasser is local, goes to Church, votes locally and shoots pool with the local Judge; you are usually hosed.

Being a good neighbor is OK until you enter a predator/prey relationship with a local neighbor.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
