A Burnet man filed a lawsuit in a local district court back in 2017, accusing another man of illegally “land-grabbing” property along the banks of the Llano River. The lawsuit simmered for years but soon may come to boil since Judge Evan Stubbs, who presides over the 424th Judicial District Court in Llano, will consider a motion filed by the plaintiff.
“We are asking that the Court sign a final summary judgment against Defendant Joe Johnson declaring the deed at issue as void and unenforceable as a matter of law,” said Michael J. Kuykendall with the Marble Falls law firm that represents the plaintiff Efrain Aviles Sr., in an email on Tuesday. “Our argument for that is set out in detail in the Traditional Motion for Summary Judgment, which is set to be heard on Thursday.”
In June of 2017, Aviles and his family purchased multiple lots in the Royal Oaks Estates in Kingsland not knowing that in 2014, Joe Johnson—the defendant—had been deeded 51 acres of waterfront land that Aviles thought was his.
