(2) the claimed access is a necessity, not a mere convenience; and (3) the necessity existed at the time the two estates were severed.\u00a0 Unless all three of these elements can be shown by the landlocked owner, an easement by necessity will not be recognized.\u00a0 If a landlocked owner is able to prove each of these elements, he or she can go to court and seek the declaration of an easement by necessity by the court, which may then be filed in the county deed records.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Determine if there may be a prescriptive easement.<\/strong> Prescriptive easements are essentially like obtaining an easement through adverse possession and are disfavored by law.\u00a0 In order to obtain this type of easement, the person claiming the easement must prove that he or she has used the easement for at least 10 years and the use was: (1) open and notorious; (2) continuous; (3) exclusive; and (4) adverse.\u00a0 These elements must be proven by the landlocked owner and several of them are often problematic.\u00a0 The exclusivity requirement means that only the person seeking the easement made this use; if the road was used by the owner of the property which it crosses or by any other person, this element is not satisfied.\u00a0 The adverse or hostile requirement can be difficult to prove as well.\u00a0 In order for the use to be adverse or hostile, the landlocked owner must prove that he or she (or the prior owners utilizing the easement for the required 10 year period) did not have permission and made some affirmative act to indicate their hostile use of the property.\u00a0 If permission to cross the land was granted, then no easement by prescription will be recognized.\u00a0 If a landlocked owner can prove each of these elements in court, he or she may be able to obtain a legal prescriptive easement that can be filed in the deed records.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Determine if there could be an easement by estoppel.<\/strong>\u00a0 An easement by estoppel arises when one person acts in reliance on being told an easement exists.\u00a0 The elements required are: (1) a representation; (2) belief in the representation; and (3) reliance on the representation.\u00a0 For example, if a person purchased landlocked property and began building a house based upon a promise from a neighbor that he or she could cross his land to access the property, but then the neighbor denied the promised access, that could potentially create an easement by estoppel.\u00a0 Again, in order to enforce this type of easement, the landlocked owner would be forced to file a court action, prove each element, and get an order from a judge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seek a statutory easement from the commissioners\u00a0court.<\/strong>\u00a0 A statute in the Texas Transportation Code allows a landlocked landowner to seek a public road from the commissioners court.\u00a0 Do note, however, that a prior version of this statute was declared unconstitutional by the Texas Supreme Court, and the current version is very similar to that prior statute. Texas <a href=\"http:\/\/www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us\/Docs\/TN\/htm\/TN.251.htm#251.053\">Transportation Code Section 251.053<\/a> provides that &#8220;a person who owns real property to which there is no public road or other public means of access may request that an access road be established connecting the person&#8217;s real property to county public road system&#8230;&#8221;\u00a0 In order for this action to be taken, the landlocked owner must file a sworn application with the commissioners court, notice must be given to each property owner who would be affected, and a hearing on the application will be held.\u00a0 If the commissioners court determines the landowner has no access to their land, the court may issue an order creating a public road.\u00a0 Damages to affected property owners will be provided in the same manner as for other public roads and the county pays all costs in connection with proceedings to open a road.\u00a0 The county is required to make the road initially suitable for use as a public access road, but is not required to subsequently maintain the road.\u00a0 Note that in the statute, if the factors are met, the commissioner&#8217;s court\u00a0<em>may<\/em> issue an order creating a public road&#8211;they are not required to do so.\u00a0 It is within the commissioners&#8217; discretion as to whether to do so.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If a landowner has property that is landlocked in Texas, it is prudent to try and gain legal access to the property for both convenience and legal reasons.\u00a0 Establishing a permanent, enforceable right of access, rather than relying on friendly permission of a third party, will reduce headaches for a landowner and his or her visitors\u00a0 Title companies are usually unwilling to insure title to a property that lacks access, so without access, the property will likely be difficult to sell to any party desiring title insurance.\u00a0 Further, without insurable title, a lender is very unlikely to loan money against the property.\u00a0 Thus, obtaining some sort of easement will likely be in the best interest of the landowner, whether he or she wants to utilize the property themselves or sell it to someone else.\u00a0 Although there is no automatic right to access property, there are numerous options discussed above that a landowner can consider and seek to utilize in order to obtain legal access to his or her landlocked property.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, I recorded a podcast with Texas attorney James Decker on this topic.\u00a0 He helps explain these issues in more detail and offers some war stories about cases in which he has been involved.\u00a0 To listen in, <a href=\"http:\/\/aglaw.libsyn.com\/episode-28-james-decker-easements-landlocked-property\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question:\u00a0 I own property that is landlocked&#8211;I&#8217;ve got no way to access my land from a public road without crossing over private property owned by someone else.\u00a0 What can I do to access my property?
