Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
Bought home 11 months ago. Water coming in the recessed living room after heavy rains. What can i do? Is the previous owner liable? (previous owner owned the home for 5 years, claimed to have not lived in the home for over a year)

I had the same problem. I ended up getting drainage re-worked by landscaper. You would have to PROVE that owner knew of the problem and failed to disclose. In my case, it wasn't worth the hassle and expense of litigation - I took care of it and moved on.
