Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

I want to move my existing fence closer to our boundary line & build it taller for the purpose of;

1. keeping my dogs from jumping over

2. neighbors property is up for sale & don't want the new owners to claim land up to our fence line.

We built the farm fence a year ago & placed it 4 ft inside our property. What does the Texas law say about boundary fence lines.

I am an Austin Truck Accident Attorney and do not generally handle property dispute issues.

I do feel comfortable however telling you that generally property will not be lost due to adverse possession because your fence is not exactly on the boundary line.

You should consult a local attorney for more information.

Good Luck!
