Met with lawyer. I don't remember his fancy lawyer talk but since my club has used this as access for at least 10 continuous years and article 689 section 3 applies to a land locked property - we need to be granted access via the levee.

Sine the land owner won't make his SIL take the gate down/give us a key they are both getting a letter from the lawyer to take it down in 5 days of receiving the letter or they both will be taken to court.

The old man land owner wants nothing to do with his SIL or courts so we think this will work. SIL already has felony charges so he won't want to mess with courts

Also the sherrif's office is going to pay the gate builder and land owner a visit becuase the gate builder did this illegally and can be charged with criminal mischief which can fall back on the land owner for not making him take it down or provide a key.

This has been interesting to watch. Kudos to you for taking to proper steps to get this handled.

When I was a kid, we showed up to hunt our property and someone (not the landowner) had run a barbwire fence across the spot we would normally access our property from. My uncle had an old bronco with a big front bumper and drove right through it he was so mad. I have to say it was pretty fun as a 10 year old kid busting through that fence.
