Already Tried:
After obtaining the property the brother filed to evict me. We went to JP court and I later appealed. We had a hearing then we went before the judge at County Clerk where my uncle tried to plead his case to the judge but was told we weren't in the right court to hear his plea.

The taxes were behind on the property and he pretended he would get a loan for the taxes and he needed him to cosign on the loan

Answer
Thanks for your response.
You are going to have to file a civil suit against him alleging fraud and asking the Judge to invalidate the Deed. You are going to need to consult a property attorney and discuss the probability of you succeeding in your claim. If your Uncle signed the Deed, and the deed was properly drafted from him to your brother, it is probably going to be hard to prove that it was fraudulently signed. A property attorney should be able to tell you what your chances are - however - if it is simply your Uncle's word against your brother's - your brother has the signature on his side.
Hope this helps,
