i purchased my mothers home in texas via a warranty deed in 2006. i paid property taxes until 2008.
my mother died in june of 2009 and before she died she did a quit claim deed to her nephew. he is now registered as the owner of the property.
under texas law can i be listed as the sole owner of the property since i paid two years of taxes? i have no siblings.

Hi sandyberry!
Welcome to forums!
Your mother had first transferred the property to you with the help of a warranty deed. In that case, you would be considered as the owner of the property and your mother will not be able to transfer the property to someone else. I would suggest you to have a word with a real estate attorney and he would suggest you what steps you need to take in this regard.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
