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."
