The Types of Property Disputes We Take On

Property conflicts take many forms, and each requires a nuanced understanding of Texas real estate law. 

Our attorneys have successfully resolved disputes involving:

  • Boundary and survey disputes – Conflicts over property lines, encroachments, fence placement, and competing survey results that create uncertainty about ownership.
  • Easement disputes – Disagreements regarding access rights, utility easements, shared driveways, and whether easements have been properly created, maintained, or terminated.
  • Adverse possession claims – Situations where someone claims ownership of your property through continuous, unauthorized use.
  • Nuisance claims – Problems involving noise, odors, drainage issues, tree encroachment, or other conditions that interfere with your ability to use and enjoy your property.
  • Trespass – Unauthorized entry onto your property or use of your land without permission.
  • Title disputes – Conflicts over ownership rights, including competing claims, unclear chain of title, or fraudulent conveyances.
  • Co-ownership disputes – Disagreements between joint owners or tenants in common regarding property use, expenses, improvements, partition, and more.
  • Zoning and land use conflicts – Disputes with municipalities or neighbors over permitted property uses, variances, or non-conforming uses.
  • Commercial lease disputes Conflicts between commercial landlords and tenants over lease terms, maintenance obligations, or property conditions.

Potential Remedies for Property Disputes

No matter the property dispute, our goal is to achieve outcomes that protect our clients’ rights and financial interests. 

Depending on your situation, we can pursue remedies, such as:

  • Declaratory judgments clarifying ownership rights, easement scope, or boundary locations
  • Injunctive relief that stops ongoing trespasses, encroachments, or other actions
  • Monetary damages compensating you for property damage, loss of use, or diminished property value
  • Quiet title actions establishing clear ownership
  • Partition actions to divide co-owned property or forcing a sale when co-owners cannot agree
  • Specific performance compelling parties to fulfill contractual obligations 
  • Negotiated settlements resolving disputes without litigation

  • Thorough due diligence – We can conduct comprehensive title examinations, survey reviews, and property assessments before purchases or developments to identify potential problems early.
  • Clear documentation – We’re able to draft precise easement agreements, boundary line agreements, co-ownership agreements, and lease terms that minimize ambiguity and future disputes.
