Adverse Possession Property Rights

Summary

In Texas, if youve been using a property openly, continuously, and exclusively for 10 years, you may claim it under adverse possession laws. This legal principle allows individuals to gain ownership of land under specific conditions. For a successful claim, the use must be obvious to others, uninterrupted, and without the true owners permission. Given that your family has been using the property for 60 years, you may have a strong case. Consult a local property attorney to explore your options and ensure all legal requirements are met.
