In the event of a dispute between the owner of a mineral servitude and the owner of a mineral royalty burdening or alleged to burden the servitude in question, the possessory action is unavailable to either party, and the only available real action is the petitory action. The burden of proof on the plaintiff in the petitory action is to prove a better title than that of the defendant.
