Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas
time limitation
If someone leaves personal items(EG. a basket of items)at my home, they know it is there, how long do I have to wait before I can take possession of the basket, to do as I please with it?

Re: time limitation
Almost forever, unless you give them notice in writing that you will consider the goods abandoned unless they pick up what they own within a set period of time. I'd suggest sending that notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, with a copy by First Class mail, just to be on the safe side.
