Help! Tenant Eviction in Dallas, TX
I am having problems with a tenant that I am in the process of evicting. I recently won an eviction to remove a tenant from a duplex due to non-payment (partial payment) and having unauthorized occupants in the house (4 additional people last month). In Texas, the court give the tenant to 7 days to voluntarily move out, which I am currently in and will end on Thursday.
The problem is over the holiday weekend, the tenant had a 4th of July party and appears that more people have stayed in the house overnight. I'm concerned that they may be damaging the property, if not intentionally, just recklessly not caring. There is no evidence or exterior signs of damage to the property. The only thing I have is the tenant in the 2nd unit of the duplex stating there was an unusual amount of traffic in and out. Is there anything I can do to have the tenant removed prior to the 7 day waiting period? I figure there has to be a provision if the tenant turn adverse and damages the property.
