Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
My neighbor's tree tree is always sprouting flowers into our swimming pool, and makes us do strenuous amount of work each day. It's even broken the swimming pool cleaner a couple of times. Is there a proper way we can take action to get our neighbor to cut the tree down?

Yes. Invite him over for dinner. Make some Lipton Onion Soup burgers (directions are on the package). After dinner, serve him chocolate pie and tell him about the flowers in your swimming pool.
Otherwise, you have the right to sue him for damages and you can ask for an injunction requiring him to do something about the tree.
Alternatively, you could cut branches that protrude over your property line. I would tell the neighbor before doing so incase he or she wants to hire an arborist to take care of the trimming for cosmetic reasons.
