Changing a Easement in Texas
I just purchased a track of land that has a 30 foot wide easement 254 feet long for track B to acces thier house. This is in the Warranty Deed that I just got. Is there any way to change the width of that easement to say 15 feet wide? If so how do you go about it?

The other land holders "owns" the easement so you could purchase the 15' from them. They will sign a deed granting the 15' to you. You can't arbitrarily change it because you don't own the easement...you own the underlying fee interest subject to the easement.
