Eviction trial set for today, what's next?

[Paul Zofsak]

So my tenant is two months behind on rent, I went through all the processes to lead to the eviction trial which is set for today. So my question at this point is how do I know if I need to spend the time and $$ to file a writ of possession? I have had no communication with the tenant, I have not received the keys from them, and it looks like the power is still on in the house but the blinds are all drawn so it is hard to determine if they are still living there. This is in Texas by the way.
