Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

My next dorr neghibor has been putting their bulk trash out the day after trash pick up, and they also put it on my properity. The woman had our tree cut (with out asking) because she was parked under it which is on my properity. I went over to ask her why she put them on my side, and she told me that it was because the lims were low and did not want them to fall on her car, so she said a favor for favor. Or she could have just let the fall and then sue me. If that was to happen could she do anything? If they keep putting thing on my side what could i do?

First, your neighbor had a right to trim any branches that protruded over the property line. And yes, she could sue you if your tree caused any damage to her property.

On the trash, you can call the city and file a complaint. They will probably write her a ticket for placing trash out prematurely and on your property.
