Rule 807 Judgment When Claim for Improvements Is Made

If you are in a lawsuit over property and you made improvements to land that someone else owns, Texas law gives you some protections. When you win that kind of claim, the court has to write its judgment in a specific way.

The judgment must state what the property would be worth without any improvements you made. It also must include certain conditions and requirements that come from Texas Property Code Sections 22.021 through 22.024. These conditions help sort out what happens next between you and the property owner.

This rule makes sure the court follows the proper steps when deciding these cases. It protects both sides by keeping the judgment clear about the property's value and what each person is required to do.
