Opinion

OPINION

JAMES, Justice.

This is a trespass to try title suit. Plaintiff-Appellants L. G. Wilder, Jr. and wife Madeline Wilder sued Defendant-Appellees First Mortgage of Texas, R.E.I.T., and Enchanted River Estates, Inc., for title to and possession of a 2.80 acre tract located in Bandera County, Texas, and for damages. The Plaintiffs Wilder sought to establish title to the disputed tract by adverse possession under the ten year statute of limitations, Article 5510, Vernon’s Texas Civil Statutes. Plaintiffs and Defendants own respective tracts of land in Bandera County which are contiguous to the disputed tract, said disputed area being situated along Plaintiffs’ south or southwest line. The following is a map or plat reproduced from Exhibit “B” attached to the trial court’s judgment, showing the respective locations of Plaintiffs’ land, Defendants’ land, and the 2.80 acre tract in dispute. This plat as shown in this opinion is a true copy of said Exhibit “B”, except that we have added the words, “Plaintiffs’ Land,” “Defendants’ Land,” and “2.80 acre tract in dispute” for clarity. The disputed tract is the shaded area.
