How Squatter's Rights Impact Property Ownership in Texas

Squatters' rights, also known as adverse possession, is a legal term that has been around for centuries, but still largely unknown to many people. In essence, it is the concept that if a person occupies a piece of land without permission and in the open for a certain period of time, the rightful owner's claim to that property may be overruled by the squatter's own claim. This may sound confusing, but it has been an important aspect of property law in many countries, including the United States, since the early days of property law. This blog post will explore what squatters rights Texas are, how they work, and what implications they have for property law.
