In Texas, they can not. This has been litagated extensively, and our state constitution is *very* clear. If its underwater, it ain't yours. [except for small creeks and drainage ditches.] If, after a hurricane, your home is now on the public beach, guess what. It ain't yours no more. Gone. Post Toasties. Sometimes, if the beach builds back up, the state government will RE-title the property to you, but they don't have to if they don't want to. > By right, they can keep you out under ordinary conditions. In NY/NJ apparently. Not in Texas.
