What is the name of your state? Texas
I have posted threads off and on concerning my horrible neighbors. Yesterday, this situation went from being five years of nuissance, to a physical threat. Because I hit on my window to keep the neighbor's five year old from stepping on my flowers, the Father reacted like something you wouldn't expect. He came to my front door, and asked to speak to my husband, and was told he wasn't home. The neighbor then proceeded to talk trash, and told me to move my flowers off his property. I am keeping out the choice trash talk he used. The conversation got worse, at which my child out of concern walked into the room. I asked the neighbor to leave, and with that, he shoved his foot into my door. When I pushed on the door, he pushed back with force, and caught my arm, which hurt. I told him to leave, and he kept on yelling at me, telling me to get off his kids back, and that I was a psycho. Anyway, after a few more attempts, he now was half way into my house, still shoving my door into my face, and I was totally scared. I threatened to call the police, and he tells me to go ahead. My child dialed 911, and we both were crying and shaking at this point. After I tell 911 that I can't get the neighbor out of my house and he is scaring me and my child. He leaves. Yes, the police did come. But, he is only getting a warning not to trespass. So, after setting up the situation, here is the question. The flowers are infront of my garage, but are on my yard, but infront of the side of his privacy fence. He put his fence up about five inches away from my garage roof. My garage was built with my house over seventy years ago...so, it is "grandfathered" in. Do I not have the right to use the area infront of my garage, or because it is two feet onto his property, am I wrong? They have never maintained this odd two feet of area, and now after a year of having ten pots of flowers there, his brat kids want to climb over the fence right there, instead of using their front gate, five feet away on their property. He threatened to go throw out my flowers if I didn't move them. They have been there for over a year now,and they have never said anything before now. They also have a yard guy who mows and weed eats their yard...not once has he taken care of that area. The fence runs out about two feet past the end of my garage. And because of this...he went postal on me. And yes, I did have my property surveyed a few years ago, and he has also.
Thanks for any info.
