You do know Texas passed new laws about Frivolous Lawsuits, when you lose and you will the way you are going about it. You are going to have to paid her legal fees.
What is the saying about a person who represents himself in court?
That I can't discuss.
This is a bit different than someone putting their fence in the wrong place!
By the way....don't quit your day job. You're not quite ready for prime time comedy. I rate you right up there beside the idiot from Arkansas and the moron from Livingston Texas!
I'm having an awesome time with it!
Never have I seen so many tangents for such a simple issue. The fact that a non-surveyor was able to elicit so many is just astounding...
As a professional my strongest urge is to provide a clear cut answer that makes sense to a layman. But with all of the posturing by the original poster, I just cannot find it in me to do so. My human side has left me with no alternative.
Had the poster showed even the faintest appreciation to the 'correct' answers, or even was aware he was being given correct information, I would have given my heartiest approval. But alas, I feel that we are way past that time.

Aww, I was ready to hit the circuit: If I helped permit the bulldozing that old run down Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, then help plan the expansion of Sesame Street into Sesame Block. Finally, I could help design that extremely needed septic system for the Muppets. I keep the kids entertained.
In reality, there is no secret to anything. Everyone knows about many things and the wisest of our society choose to hire the professionals.
The mysticism of our profession has been exposed. They never taught the underlying math to the general public when the profession was strong. Being able to get a lot to close within a foot was often regarded as an amazing feat of mathemagic. Now the secret is out, this profession is so easy that even a lawyer can draw an accurate description...
If this is common practice in Texas, there must be a document similar to the one you are describing on the record. Hopefully a few because you want to read several, review the outcomes of the cases and determine if the exact difference in a lousy deed description played a substantial role in the outcome of the trial.

You actually started out giving some good advice and asking what I thought were serious questions. But then ...as with most clowns....you started with the same nonsense as some of the others on this site ......in your case...."The cat is in the bag. Need I say more." whatever the heck that means......then you finally progress to the same sad song and dance that all the other narcissistic whiners on this site declare....HE JUST APPRECIATE OUR EXPERT ADVICE LIKE HE SHOULD!
Sheesh....it's almost depressing having to deal with some of you self-important clowns! I mean I'm almost physically exhausted just from reading all the whining that goes on here when a non-surveyor shows up asking a simple question!
I wish I could offer you guys some great advice that might help with all those insecurities you apparently pack around with you....such as drink less coffee or something!
But alas, I feel that we are way past that time!
I have no idea if this has ever been done before in Texas or anywhere else for that matter. Is that supposed to make a difference? The simple fear of failure keep many from ever attempting anything new, If people never attempted things that had never been done before where would we be? Hell you might surveying some more pyramids or something.
Fortunately not everybody is frozen in fear and not all let the fact that "it's never been done" stop them. Whatever else you may think of me, you can safely put me in that group!
One of my favorite quotes......
"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."

Good luck with that Sesame Street deal!

😀 :good:
"IT DEPENDS"
I thought that was just a famous Arkansas saying...as in...
"It depends on what the meaning of the word is is"
Adverse possession affects boundary and title. So if you thought it was some other area of the law, you're way out of your depth.
I've had enough of feeding the troll. Good luck on your misadventure.
"Adverse possession affects boundary and title."
Blah! Blah! Blah! Look...maybe there are people out there foolish enough to seek legal advice from a surveyor....I'm just not one of them! I never realized just how defensive they are when it comes to not being qualified to offer legal advice.
You're the one that's out of your depth. After all of this reading responses I didn't learn one thing that was right that I didn't already know and a good deal of what was offered was flat out wrong! I am now more convinced than ever that I know more about the legal aspects of real estate than the average poster on this site...and you're definitely no exception to that statement!
Good luck on your misadventure too!
This has been quite an entertaining topic...I had to see for myself; ran the description out and it closed less than 0.01'
Then I still don't have it right. I don't have a POB to reference nor any metes and bounds. Where exactly is the gap?
It is either between your ears 😐
or a result of rounding off your measurements.
you decide... ok
News flash...There never was an overlap or gap.
You came to this board looking for 'advise'. Your real intention was merely to create a division between the various posters here. But we all knew you from very early on and we played you. Because we know a real clown when we see one.
You have spent a huge amount of time badgering the very people you seek council from! Granted there are some here that began that process, but you did not rise above it. It was what you wanted from the beginning.
So congratulations! You did a fine job of making our day a bit less dull. B-)
Yep! You're a complete asshat! How's life sat the trailer park Louisiana boy?
There is essentially no gap or overlap. Unless you have a legal description that is due north, east, south, west there will always be rounding error in your legs (which is highly dependent on the software that you use to run out your legal description) and you come up with a "hopefully" insignificant amount of error at the end. You balance the rounding error out between the lines and go from there.
My God you're an effing idiot! "Your real intention was merely to create a division between the various posters here"? Man they must really value your ignorant ass around here. You're their very own personal Barney Fife! You're a real novelty man. I just can't imagine how anyone could possibly be any more stupid than you appear to be.
So my grand plan was to come into this forum and intentionally cause strife among the members for some grand reason that.....hell..... I don't even know! I really am going to hurt myself laughing!
Just one question....who the hell dropped you on your head as a baby?
I don't have any type of software that creates descriptions...just an older version of auto-cad. When I started at the SW corner I got the gap but when I started at the NW corner I got an overlap of both lines. I'm gonna check the other two possible starting points just to see but it's not gonna matter much anyway for now.
I'll get a real survey down the road.
The ultimate fool
You are so easy to play. I hardly need to bait the hook. :woot:
