Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

In Texas, is a manufactured home considered an improvement, like a house would be? It has had it's wheels and axles removed, it is permanently anchored, has built on permanent back and front porches, is fenced in and is hooked to all utilities, in other words there is no way it can be moved. The reason for the question is that I was gift deeded land (including all improvements). That was in 2007, it's a legal document and has been filed at the county courthouse. Now I am finding out that the manufactured home was left to someone else in a will dated 2011. Don't I own both land and the manufactured home now?

Under these facts, the mobile home is a "fixture" and has become part of the land. But don't expect the beneficiary of the will to agree with you.
