Texas Supreme Court

M. McDonnold, Jr., Petitioners v. Charles Weinacht, Respondents

March 10, 197114 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 276

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the trial court and Court of Civil Appeals, holding that the defendants did not establish adverse possession of the disputed tract under the ten‑year statute because their grazing, fence repairs, and weed cutting were merely incidental and did not demonstrate a designed enclosure or visible claim of ownership. The case was remanded for entry of judgment for the petitioners.
