Adverse Possession attempt did not work

What's the statutory period in Texas? 6 months?

I like the one where they tried to claim possession because they would store a boat on the property every winter, but they hid the boat so people would not vandalize it.

I own a partial interest in some old woodlots my g. g. grandfather purchased. I went to one and saw a No Trespassing sign with a phone number, so I called it. That guy was so perplexed that I would call. "Who are you again?" "Oh I'm the guy who owns the land you are trying to claim." "Oh."

I forgot about my favorite. Another one of my g. g. grandfather's woodlots. A construction firm dug a gravel pit out a little bigger then their lot 19 years before they went to a planning board meeting to enlarge their pit. (20 year period here). I went to the meeting and waited my turn. Everyone was against the enlargement of the pit, one guy was claiming the land, another claiming the road. Then I stood up and gave the construction company permission to have their pit over the line and I was willing to sign a license to that effect if they so desired. Everyone looked at me like I had three heads. A week or so later a lawyer called me and said how I shook up so many things by doing that.

I love how being nice will mess things up for others.

Good shot.

I wish I could remember when it was so I could quote it, but we had a lawsuit a number of years ago that, when it was all said and done;

The plaintiff acknowledged that he had seen survey stakes a few years earlier, and knew they were the deeded boundary. This was enough for the courts to rule that from that point on, his occupation had actually been permissive through constructive notice.
