Eviction in Tarrant County

[MK Wang]

Hi all, I have a couple questions regarding the eviction in Tarrant county.

I have a duplex with executed contract. However, after due diligence on the existing tennants I found out that the tennants in one of the units have unpaid balance and late fees starting from October this year. I am set to close this deal in Jan so here are my questions.

1) Does the unpaid balance with the previous landlord will be carried over to me? in other words, do I, the new landlord have claim over the unpaid balance?

2) Can I start eviction immediately after I close since there is unpaid balance?

3) Can anyone share their experience dealing with eviction?
