Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Enjoyment of Property

I have heard that there is a state law in Texas that gives citizens the right to enjoy their property. Is this correct? Also, does it apply in my case? I am trying to make the city I live in find a way to censure my neighbors whose vicious pit bull dogs bark continuously when I am in my yard and sometimes dig under their fence to get into my yard. They have completely robbed me of any enjoyment I might have in my yard.

Re: Enjoyment of Property

If what you're saying is true, the pit bulls are breaking a noise ordinance, which means the owners are breaking the noise ordinance. In addition, every time the dogs dig under your fence onto your property, they are trespassing, which means the owners are trespassing. You should call the police.
