A: Setting aside the ROW in Court is not an option if it is your chain of title. However contact a competent Texas attorney that has actually engaged in real property litigation, not a title company. He should be able to advise about physically blocking, and thus terminating, the Easement. It will require a number of years, and possibly a Declaratory Judgment/Quiet Title Action afterwards. You could get sued for an Injunction and damages yourself. This is very serious and potentially difficult. Hopefully your real property is worth the trouble.
