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?
