John A. Lance, Debra L. Lance, F.d. Franks, and Helen Franks, Petitioners v. Judith and Terry Robinson, Gary And…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's declaration that the Lances do not own the disputed area, but reversed the award of attorney's fees to the Water District and remanded for further proceedings. It also held that the Robinsons have standing to sue under the Declaratory Judgments Act and that a declaratory‑judgment action, not a trespass‑to‑try‑title suit, is appropriate for their easement claim.
