Can a tenant refuse a scheduled entry?
This is in Texas.
I have a situation where some domestic violence has occurred and the wife has told me he trashed the house. I contacted him today and told him I was coming by for an inspection tomorrow. He has not responded and I don't believe he will. I went by today and tried to serve a lease termination for end of next month, since he is on month to month. He refused to come to the door, I know he was there, because 10 minutes earlier his car had not been in the driveway.
The back door has been kicked in, and I do have a set of keys. If he does not come to the door, I am going to gain entry one way or the other.
What can he refuse?
