Houston oWNERSHIP DISPUTES

Texas real estate law covers a wide range of issues, and many property owners in Houston find themselves needing legal assistance in the following areas:

Partition actions – When co-owners cannot agree on how to use, sell, or divide a property.

Title disputes – When ownership is unclear, or multiple parties claim interest in the same property.

Adverse possession – When someone tries to take legal ownership of land through long-term, unauthorized use.

If you’re involved in any of these situations, it’s important to speak with a real estate law attorney in Houston as early as possible. Prompt legal action can help prevent loss of property, financial damage, or long court proceedings.

Partition Actions in Texas Real Estate Law

When multiple people own a property and cannot agree on what to do with it, a partition lawsuit may be necessary. This legal tool allows the court to either physically divide the property or sell it and split the proceeds between the owners.

Two types of partition actions exist under Texas law:

  • Partition in kind – The court divides the land among the owners.

  • Partition by sale – The court orders the sale of the property and distributes the proceeds fairly.

If you’re considering filing a partition lawsuit or need help responding to one, schedule a Houston real estate lawyer consultation with our office to understand your options and protect your rights.

Trespass to Try Title Lawsuits in Houston

A trespass to try title lawsuit is used to resolve title disputes and confirm who has legal ownership of a property. This process may be necessary if someone:

  • Falsely claims ownership of your land

  • Obtains a title or deed through fraud

  • Refuses to vacate your property without valid ownership

To win a trespass to try title case, you must prove you have superior title to the property. As a real estate law attorney in Houston, Emily Bohls assists clients with building strong title claims and presenting solid evidence in court.
