The Creators of the Texas Registered Professional Land Surveying exam want to make sure that examinees have a very firm, deep understanding of the core principles that every Texas Land Surveyor needs to know. One of those principles, “which date do I use to compare sequentially created parcels?”, is the topic of this Q&A Review. Do you know how to settle the dispute between Smith and Etheredge?

Who’s property in senior in title?
