Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

We bougth 3.97 acres and we want to build a barn but the city will not let us because it has not been platted. The seller will not plat the land because a water line has to be put in when he plats. No what do we do.

You may try to get a variance from the city.

You should consult an attorney for a more in-depth analysis of your situation.

Good Luck!

If you bought the land, you should be in charge of the platting process. On the water line requirement, it doesn't make sense. Check again with the city.
