Tenant bringing me to civil court - Texas

[George Genovezos]

Hi all,

I have a tenant who has not paid for the 2nd month. I started the eviction process and they did not show up at the initial hearing. then at their appeal, in JP court, they lost. Now they're appealing the appeal in civil court.

They're claiming they're a pauper and won't need to pay court fees or bond, and are stating the monthly rent they owe is $0.

What are my options?

Contact the court, or your lawyer, to find out your options regarding the eviction.
