Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Having a car and shed removed from my property

My oldest brother has kept a car in an old shed for over twenty years on the lot my grandmother did own when he built it but the lot has been in my name now for ten years. I haven't imposed any demands for the removal of the car & shed until 4 months ago when my mother passed and I knew I might be selling the lot soon. Relations between this brother and myself are strained due to disagreements over my mothers intestate estate. Grandmother is 98 and still lives on the lot but is needing to transfer to an assisted living facility soon. I just want the car and shed removed from my property so I can fence the lot and secure it while grandmother's house is vacant. I am considering sending my brother a registered letter informing him of an intention to commence imposing a monthly rent on the car& shed beginning in 30 days if the car is still there. He will not want to pay me for keeping the car on the lot so I feel this will be the most passive process to take. What legal form would I be looking at to carry this action? Should it be filed first with an attorney or the county sheriff's office? Can I legally impose a 30 day notice for him to remove his car & shed and then charge a renter's fee, payable by confiscation of the items

If it were me, I would call a towing company, pay to have the car picked up and delivered to my brother. It would be well-worth the expense to have the "problem" hauled off.
