Property Ownership
A Texas property deed that contains the clause 'provided, however, that if the grantee fails to use this land for agricultural purposes, grantor shall have the right to re-enter and repossess' creates:
AA fee simple absolute
BA fee simple subject to a condition subsequent with a right of re-entry✓ Correct
CA fee simple determinable
DA life estate
Explanation
A fee simple subject to a condition subsequent does not automatically terminate — rather, it gives the grantor the right (power of termination or right of re-entry) to reclaim the property if a condition is violated. It differs from a fee simple determinable, which terminates automatically.
