    There are time requirements for each state.

    "Texas law provides different time limits based on the following circumstances:

    Three years if the person has title or color of title, which involves a chain of property transfers that may have certain technical defects.

    Five years if the person uses the land, pays property taxes, and has a deed that is properly recorded in public records.

    Ten years if the person cultivates, uses, or enjoys the land, even without a recorded deed."
