There are time requirements for each state.
"Texas law provides different time limits based on the following circumstances:
Three years if the person has title or color of title, which involves a chain of property transfers that may have certain technical defects.
Five years if the person uses the land, pays property taxes, and has a deed that is properly recorded in public records.
Ten years if the person cultivates, uses, or enjoys the land, even without a recorded deed."
