I mentioned this neighbor here: sucky neighbor
I paid the neighbor to clean my property, though she said she won't burn/remove the debris. About 4 months latter my mom dies and a month latter (dec. 2011) I'm looking over my property and I see she is putting a barb-wired fence. She is outside watching them put up the fence and said she was going to ask but coudln't find anyone home. Fine, whatever.
Around Nov. (or even Dec) of 2012 she puts up a building flush to the property line. Now I don't really notice this building, but yesterday I went around making sure no one is encrouching my property and I see that the building she put up has a roof overhang that hangs over my property. I have a tree (I have hundred of trees) that is about a foot from the property line. I see someone (and I'm leaning toward the idea of elves) cut my tree down, and left the upper part of the tree leaning against another of my trees. It was cut down since it interferred with the neighbor's (bitch's) roof that is over hanging into my property.
I really hate to get a lawyer. I paid on $3000 (as a retainer) just to take care of presenting in front of a judge when my mom owed property taxes to the county (long story, which involved a lot of noticed comin to the house, but when I called the county about the money mom owed they said, "oh she doens't owe money, don't worry about it) and then she died then he just put some paper work about her being dead before the court date. And I have been trying to communicate with the lawyer but gotten no response.
So looks like I will have to get a lawyer about this. There are City Codes but I don't live in the city and I do't know anything about County codes, but I'm thinking this is bullshit.
Of course I talked to one of my aunts about it. I don't know why I expected sympathy from her, she never gives it (ie, I was telling her the cousin who was helping me clean threw away stuff, and she said don't tell cousin this, it would offend her. I tell aunt, "and she threw away a new pack of batteries," and aunt said, "well, she might have thought they were old." Geez). Aunt was telling me about neighbors and trees and she told me my neighbor could have billed me for cutting down my tree. Ugh.
Anyway, I'm going to a University library and look up the Vernon's Texas Code on Property. Maybe I will get a clue about what my rights are (though the last time I looked a Vernon's, I just could not understand it). I'm getting a surveyor to look at the property lines, just to back me up.
