Dealing with PM/owners over shared fencing

[Todd Manning]

I'm having an issue dealing with the surrounding owners/PMs. Our fence is in need of replacement but they are unwilling to commit and move the ball forward. 

1. Is there a legal lever to get them moving on this?

2. If not a legal approach, then another tactic?

3. Since they are hesitant, I'm concerned about being left holding the bill. Any suggestions on how to work with vendor on splitting the bill ?

So long as there are no deed restrictions prohibiting it, in Texas you can put a fence on your property. Sure, it would be great if neighbors chipped in, but no law requires it (deed restrictions aside). So if you want a fence, be ready to foot the entire bill.
