How bad tenants are getting smarter in Texas..

Yesterday I was talking to my realtor and he told me how bad tenants are getting smarter by using existing process. I thought let me share and it might help someone to stay away from bad tenants. First they find a rental property and then they start paying rent regularly for few months. Suddenly after 2 month they stop paying. 3rd month owner send notice to tenant. 4th month owner go to court to get eviction notice. Almost 5th month court send notice to tenant and tenant raise objection. Again it delay another month and court send another notice after clearing all objections. 7th month constable goes to our property and find tenant is gone already. This is how bad tenant keeps doing it and they also spread their success stories to others. I don't know if it is true or not but does it really take that long to get rid off bad tenant. Is their any work around to expedite process? What tools are available to find good tenant? What credit score is required?
