Trespass to Try Title Attorneys in Dallas, TX
Under Texas Property Code Chapter 22, a trespass to try title action is the exclusive legal method for resolving disputes over ownership or possessory rights to real property in Texas. It applies only to land, buildings, and other real estate—not personal property or intellectual property.
This type of lawsuit allows the courts to determine who rightfully owns or has the superior right to possess a disputed property.
Why is a Lawsuit Required in Texas?
The Texas Property Code §22.001 requires that disputes involving title to “lands, tenements, or other real property” be brought through a trespass to try title action. Courts have consistently held that this cause of action is the exclusive remedy for resolving active disputes over real property ownership, including boundary disputes, claims of superior title, or issues involving chains of title.
