Can I evict?

[John Arcana]

Forgive my ignorance, I've only 2 rental properties. One I've had for almost two years and another since June 2015. I have a tenant that has basically refused to communicate with me. He told me (via text) he pays is rent every month, end of story. He's even blocked me on Facebook. I'm now trying to liquidate this property by selling because I have twins on the way. Do I have any case to get him out of the property? He signed a two year lease in June 2015.

I would love a tenant like that. One who pays me and wants to have noting else to do with me. Perfect !

If he has a lease...he has a lease.  Unless he is doing something illegal or has broken the lease in some manner the lease has to be honored until its term expires.  (TX may have a different law..but I doubt it)

Cash for keys might be an option if you want him out that bad.  But having a tenant does not stop you selling the property. In fact it might appeal to an investor who likes buying property with immediate cash flow and no rehab. A new investor would then have to honor the remaining term on the lease. 

If you want top dollar and sell to an OO then your options are limited unless you can get creative.
