6 yrs ago I purchased a house in Texas. Both the house and the lot next door had the same fence going around both although the lot next door was not included in the sale. Since then the fence has remained intact and I have maintained the property within it, mowing, landscaping, etc. Since 1 year before my purchase the taxes on the lot next door have not been paid and the owner of record can not be located. Is there some law in Texas that would enable me to pay the taxes and penalties that are in arrears for 7 years and thereby be enabled to have a legally recognized lien or claim to this lot? Thank you.What is the name of your state?
