Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Landlocked property easement

I own 18 acres and beside me is a 60

acre plot of land that has been sold

off and divided. In the middle of that

land is 33 acres of landlocked

property, my land has never been

part of the deed to the 60 acres, and

recently we had the realestate

company that is selling it threaten to

take us to court if we didn't give

them easement rights on our land.

They had already asked the owner of

the 10acres that is off the public

road for access he said no. I thought

he had to give the access to the 33

acres because he was part of the

original deed. Why do I have to give

them access when we have never

been part of that land deed. We are

in Bexar County, Texas

Re: Landlocked property easement

You do not have to give them access. Tell that realestate agent to go take a hike! Have they offered you any compensation for the easement?

Where are they going to get their water from? Are there any current easements to their property? Where is the closest access to a public road?
