SUMMARY JUDGMENT ORDER
On the 22nd day of March, 2019 came on for hearing the Defendants’ Motion for
Summary Judgment on the Plaintiffs' suit for Trespass to Try Title by adverse
possession. The Court, after considering the Motion, the Plaintiffs’ Response to the
Motion and the Summary Judgment proof submitted by each party, finds that there is no
genuine issue of material fact on the Merwins’ claims and causes of action, and the
Rushings’ Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED.
Based upon the evidence submitted, the Court finds that the Merwins have not
adversely possessed any portion of the Rushings’ property; that the driveway extension
and wooden fence constructed by the MenNins in April 2018 encroaches upon the
Rushings property; and concrete and tiled driveway extension, fence, fence posts and
wrought iron gate post should be removed from the Rushings property by the Merwins
at their sole cost and expense.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED, that Lee Merwin
and Betty Menlvin take nothing by their trespass to try title suit, and all relief requested
by the Men/vins is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that the Merwins'
driveway and fence erected in April, 2018, encroaches upon the Rushing’ property.
