Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

prperty line issue

Shortly after buying my home, a problem developed with my neighbor. She built a fence about 3 feet on my side of the property line and now refuses to take it down. Is it legal for her to do this? I'm afraid that she may claim ownership of that part of my property if I do nothing. Am I allowed to take down her fence if it is on my property?

Re: prperty line issue

You should have an attorney write a demand letter to her demanding that she move the fence back to her property, since it is currently encroaching by three feet. If she will not comply with the request, you could get a court injunction ordering her to do so. Let me know if you need assistance with this.
