Legal advice on Property

We live in Sweeny,Tx. There is a known issue in the community with poor drainage. Our home is a pier and beam. With the rain we have received in the last two years the poor drainage has caused water to get under the house. Which has caused our hardwood floors to warp and buckle. We know the hardwood and subfloor are going to need to be replaced. If the city does not do something about the drainage this will only happen again. What can we do about this? We have pictures of our yard during heavy rain and our current floors.

Our neighbor has petitioned the city to vacate an unused right-of-way that also borders our property. They are asking the city to add the vacated land to their parcel. They are claiming rights to all of the unused land. I have read that abandoned right-of-ways are generally divided evenly between adjoining properties. We would like the property divided evenly.

My boyfriend and I closed on our house on 2/26/21. We moved in on 2/27/21.We had at the time 3 German Shepherds & the new that our neighbors had 2 of their own. We thought this was great, initially. The neighbors dogs were taken away for a few days in March because they bit another neighbor. They were not fenced in. Dogs came back and a temp fence was put up. In July, he put up a fence. We looked at the 1987 survey the sellers gave us and realized that they were using our newly purchased property as theirs. We got a new land survey, completed in September/October. It revealed that the fence he installed was 2 feet on our property, which we figured. Found out that he lied on his permit application, claiming that he was installing it 6" on his property. It's 2 inches from our existing fence, which means my fence, garage and house are 4" on his property! He contacted our surveyor after the stakes were installed. We tried to tell him but he said that GPS can't be trusted and that if our survey was correct everyone's property shifted 5 feet. How can I get his fence removed from my property? We want access to our property but can't spend thousands of more dollars to prove us right.

A real estate agent told my new neighbor that my tree was on her property when in fact is on my property. A couple months later she had it cut down and removed without my permission. I want to know if all parties are responsible for this act or who. Thank you.

My 2 vehicles were vandalized & broken into on different incidents, Homeowners Association only put up dummy cameras giving false security which allowed thieves to get away & leave neighborhood without catching at least a car tag to trace the crooks! Why are we being misled with the fake cameras? Our community homeowners pay every month the Home Owners Association dues and these acts of home invasion, damage to property, stolen property are still happening!!

There is a dispute over the amount of an assessment my HOA can impose without an election by owners CC 5605. HOA claims that the $1000 special assessment changed to fee is ok because when you divide it by 12 months it is less than the 20% limit for regular assessment increases--they took $1000 directly from my bank account. A candidate for Board put in the statement to owners the above was illegal. Management has posted on the HOA website their opinion regarding a candidate's statement that the $1000 special assessments were legal because they fall within the 20% rule. The candidate demanded they post a two-page rebuttal under CC 5105. They took it to the board (believe they are bias and/or prejudice -- in candidate forum the board let an employee speak against a candidate, as well did two board members, and the other 2 are running for re-election of the 5 board members, 1 board member is not seeking re-election) who responded via their attorney that they disagreed but were allowing all candidate to post a 1 page statement on the HOA web site. We have Inspectors of Election (CC 5105(a)(5)). Should they be in charge of the Board Election and issues like those raised above?

A new board wants my daughter and baby out of community after being allowed to stay under old board for 18 months during COVID. Did the board lose the ability to enforce covenant because of abandonment. The rule was not enforced for a long time and we are still in the middle of Covid

My friend has a tenant that has made alterations / improvements to a commercial property without Landlord's written consent and without permits. It states in the lease, all tenant improvement shall be completed by licensed/insured contractor and must be built with permits and codes. My friend accessed the permits on the property address and at least 8-10 alterations / improvements were not permitted on the list. What legal action can my friend take?

I live in a sub division. There is new construction down the road from my house. Yesterday some electrical contractors (Not utility workers) were in my front yard digging a hole. When I approached them they said they were installing a pole that will have a small dome on it for direct line of site to a power sub station they are building for a new sub division. Do they have a right to do that? They refused to tell me the name of the company they work for or their names. They keep coming back and replacing the stick they leave daily until the permanent pole goes into the ground.
