Just a point in Texas property boundaries.

It is typical for a road to be only about 1/2 the size of the
actual boundaries assigned to the land.

The fence is placed on the boundary and the land from the fence
to the paved road is owned by the county but is usually
maintained by both the landowner and the County Commissioner
coming along every blue moon to redig the ditch and mow the
weeds.

So she is camping on public property (which is not permitted
except in designated areas). The alternative is that she is
actually trespassing on the ranch.


As for your city lot.
Check out your deed carefully. Most communities have the front 5
to 10 feet either belonging to the city, or (no maintence
worries for city) the city has an unrestricted easement or
rightofway to the property.(water pipes and meters). At the back
there is also a 5 - 10 foot easement granted to the
city/electric company. (sewer repairs, cutting trees threatening
electric lines). There is often a 5 ft easement on either side
for fire safety/access.

You actually own a lot less than you think.
