In reference to evictions in Texas, you have to give a 3 day notice of eviction before you can file the eviction, unless a 1 day is stipulated in the lease. 10 days normally for the court date. 5 days to get out unless the tenant puts up the entire back rent owed as deposit to protest the eviction (I have never seen or even heard of anyone doing this), and then 1 day for the sheriff to come out if required.3+10+5+1= 19 days on the realistic long side and 1+10+5= 16 days on the realistic short side if you use a Texas Apartment Association Lease or another lease that stipulates 1 day eviction notices.

:protest: Another problem with buy and flippers is that half-baked appraisers come in and give you comps from wherever they "feel" like, so long as the comps are within 2 or 3 miles.

I'm not going to get emotional about this here because he was a southern Illinois german protestant and we're not about emotions as much as we are the end results and what can be learned.

You may have to protest the valuations in order to get a reduction.

Lawsuits, statements at city council, letters to the editor, demonstrations, protests, newspaper articles, etc are all effective techniques.

I will vote, if only as a form of protest against our corporate state and an homage to Polanyi's brilliance, for Ralph Nader.
