  • Topic: The Adverse Possession Claim and Deposition of a Surveyor

  • Agenda: Join us for a real-world case study presented by John Melton, RPLS, who brings over 50 years of experience to the TSPS podium. Spending almost all his adult life as a surveyor in Texas, John has seen it all-from boundary disputes to courtroom battles. Having been involved in six lawsuits, John will dive into his most challenging and educational case: a complex adverse possession claim under the Texas Ten-Year Statute of Limitation. This presentation offers practical lessons every Texas surveyor should understand when their work intersects with property law. John will discuss how this case was handled, his experience with attorneys during his deposition, and the outcome of the case.
