Best Answer

A co-owner of a shared driveway cannot claim more rights in the driveway for themselves by blocking access to the other owner. They would have no defense if the other party were to sue and could be liable for any resulting damages and legal costs. Your neighbor's behavior is unreasonable and irresponsible. You should consult with an attorney.

Does neighbor have right to park at end of shared driveway in Harris county Texas?

No, assuming that it is, in fact, a shared driveway (see your deeds), neither neighbor has the right to obstruct the right of way. You can only park within your property lines; you cannot park so as to lie within the other neighbor's property. I had the same issue with my property, but later found out the driveway wasn't actually shared (it belonged to me!).

Who is responsible when backing out of your own private driveway and hit a car parked in front of and obstructing the driveway?

It is the person who is blocking the private driveway's fault because they should have known not to park in front of a private driveway in the first place. However, if the private driveway is not marked with a sign of some sort to let people know that it is private, it may be the driveway owner's fault.
