Overview

This course is for Texas landowners, and it addresses several popular topics among rural landowners including easements, landlocked property, adverse possession, and trespassing. If you are interested in more than one agricultural law topic, be sure to check out our Owning Your Piece of Texas course before purchasing this course.

This course is a part of the larger Owning Your Piece of Texas course. It addresses the basic concepts involved in Texas fence law including open and closed range. We will also discuss important issues like liability for livestock on the roadway, animals on the property of another, and building, maintaining, and replacing fences.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify the different types of easements
  • Recognize the elements required to prove each type of easement
  • List the legal options to gain access to landlocked property
  • Recall elements that must exist to claim adverse possession in Texas
  • Differentiate between criminal and civil trespass

*You will have access to this course for 1 year before your account is unenrolled. If you enroll in the full course, you will have access to all 10 modules for 2 years.*
