In texas can a land owner purchase the land surrounding another person creating a land lock denying access?

Answer 1

Nope. A landowner who's land is not accessible by any other means other than crossing another owner's land has an automatic easement that would allow access over the other owner's land. Some restrictions apply. Contact a lawyer in your area for details.

Answer 2

If your land becomes land locked by another property they cannot deny you access to your land. But yes your property can become "land locked" by another property. When this happens the other land owner and you must come to an agreement a direct path you can take from the edge of their property to yours.

Its rare but you can occasionaly see someones house sitting in the middle of a mall parking lot because they refused to sell when all their neighbors sold, so the mall just build a parking lot around the house.

Answer 3

Need to check with a local atty; in most states it is against the law to sell a property that is land locked; but that does not mean that there is an access there. Many times these issues end up in court to recieve an easement appurtenant to allow limited access over another property; but it does vary from state to state

Answer 4

wizjp is correct.

Where a property has no reasonable access to roads ("land locked") the property owner can petition the court to create an easement, which is a right of access to use another's property, based on that necessity.
