I had a friend that had rented his rental out and the tenants wouldny pay rent or leave. Police wouldn’t let him enter his own rental. So he cut off the utilities and waited for eight months for the law to get them out. The renters had crapped the stools completely over and the drug residue was everywhere and dirty needles also. Wanted me to help him clean it up I said no way. No plumber would touch it he had to clean up the stools himself. I wouldn’t have a rental.

Here’s an idea, don’t make anyone evict you. Pay your bills, if you can’t… move. Leave the place in better shape than you found it. That’s the Texas way.

If you’re at my house/property uninvited, or in any way that I have not authorized, and you refuse to leave, you’re going to catch these hands.

Let’s just go ahead and add legal expert and evictions expert to your list.

No cake, but I know a slum lord in Texas who learned the hard way about not going to court to get rid of a squatter. Not a mistake you make twice in Texas.
Another mistake he made once and regretted, telling a lawyer "f u, sue me"

There is a big difference between unauthorized in the house you live in and a rental house that you own. Call your state senator, congress rep and the governor. Only they can change the law.

Rental property

My parents had 25 rent houses at their peak. They are down to 9 now. In their mid 80’s so they should have none. They can tell you a lot of stories over the years.

What you should be able to do and legally can are two different things. To evict anyone there is a a legal process to follow. Every dead beat renter knows the process and that it’s more favorable to the renter or squatter than landlord. You can get them out it just takes time. They know that and will run it to the bitter end. Regardless they will tear the hades out of it, leave it incredibly nasty and steal anything on the way out. Not much you can do about that. You can’t get blood from a turnip as they say. It’s amazing the filth some will live in. I was in one of their houses over the weekend that the renter left after not paying the rent several months. The carpet was pretty undistinguishable from just a mud floor. Trash and junk everywhere. This was after my parents filled 3 dumpsters from the house. I told my wife if she went it there she would need to take a half dozen showers after.

What rental property will do is help you realize how horrible many people are.

It’s easier in Montgomery a county than Harris County to evict. Still you have to go through the legal process.

in Texas, with the castle law, just shoot em dead

When Metts was JP in New Caney it was a disaster.
