Which statute term does not require taxes to be paid for a claim?

The correct answer indicates that claims under the 10-Year Statute Term do not require taxes to be paid. This is aligned with Texas property law, where the 10-Year Statute of Limitations applies to suits to recover real property and establishes that if property has been held for a continuous period of 10 years, without the payment of taxes, it may still be claimed by the possessor.

This statute is reinforced by the fact that unlike other periods, such as the 5-Year or 25-Year Statute Terms, the 10-Year provides a more lenient condition regarding tax payments, allowing for the possibility of obtaining title without the burden of having paid property taxes during that time.

Understanding this nuance is essential in land surveying and property law, particularly when advising clients on claims and property rights in Texas.
