Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

I had my house built from the ground up in 2001. I just recently found out for sure that the builder built my house on the wrong lot. I have been harassed by the other owner and now they want my house and lot. The builders are aware of everything but deny the error. There has been an independent surveyor confirm that it is 100% on the wrong lot! Now what?

You have a few different options. You should discuss the following with a lawyer, as they are complicated:

1. Title insurance claim

2. Adverse possession, Suit to quiet title, or trespass to try title

3. Breach of contract, fraud, deceptive trade practice against the builder.

This will be document specific, so I would have to review all the closing documents.
