Yes, you can sell Texas land that has no legal road access. Many buyers who want to build will pass, but some buyers, including us, look at landlocked tracts as they are. Send us what you know about how the land is reached today and we will make a written offer with no obligation.
A path you can drive on is not the same as a legal right to use it. Most buyers who want to build a home, and most lenders, want recorded access to a public road. Without it, the buyer pool gets smaller and the price usually comes down.
Texas law gives owners a few ways to get legal access, but most of them take time, an attorney or the county. Texas A&M AgriLife's Texas Agriculture Law program lists five: a written easement from a neighbor, an easement by necessity (only when your tract and the neighbor's were once one tract), a prescriptive easement after at least 10 years of qualifying use, an easement by estoppel, and a public access road that the county commissioners court may order under Transportation Code Section 251.053. Our guide on landlocked land and access easements in Texas explains each one in plain English.
You do not need everything to ask for an offer. These help us give you a real number:

Yes. Landlocked land can be sold. Fewer buyers will want it, because most people who plan to build or borrow want recorded access to a public road, so the price is usually lower. Tell any buyer honestly how the land is reached today and what is recorded.
No. You can sell the land as it is. A recorded easement usually makes the land worth more, so if a neighbor is willing to sign one, it can be worth asking first. A Texas attorney can tell you whether a court claim fits your facts.
Sometimes. The neighbor whose land you would cross often gains the most from adding your tract. It costs nothing to ask, and you can still ask other buyers for an offer at the same time.
We look at the land, the public record and recent sales of similar land nearby, then subtract the cost and risk of sorting out access. We show you the math in a written offer. See how we make offers.
Some old subdivisions were platted with roads that were never built or accepted by the county. Send us the plat or the subdivision name and we will look at what is on record.
