Full Text of Rule 1062
The action may be brought in and only in a county in which the land or a part of the land is located.
End
Plain-English Summary
This rule fixes venue for a quiet-title action at the land itself. The suit may be brought in, and only in, a county where the land or a part of it lies.
Because a quiet-title action settles competing claims to real property, anchoring venue to the property’s location puts the case before the court whose records and community are most connected to the land. The exclusive “in and only in” language forecloses any other venue choice.
