Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Today I had a neighbor cross the property line to cut our tree branches overhanging on to his property. the branches where fairly high off the ground and not near his roof line. He reached and cut the branches 1 foot on to our property. When he cut one of the branches he damaged my fence.

I understand that neighbors can cut branches that hang on to their property but it seems that their must be recourse to this situatiuon.

Thank you

Have the fence repair and present him with the bill. If he refuses to pay, you can sue him in small claims court. Be sure and take photos.
