TEXAS CRACKS DOWN ON SQUATTERS
With the passage of SB 1333, Texas gives property owners a faster, more direct path to remove squatters now legally defined as 'unauthorized occupants.' Protecting property owners and removing the previous arduous protocol, the new law includes:

Fast-Track Removal: Owners can request that a sheriff or constable remove an unauthorized occupant from a dwelling without going through a lengthy eviction process

Affidavit Required: The process begins with a sworn complaint confirming the occupant has no legal right to be there

Strict Criteria: Applies only when the occupant is not a tenant or a family member, and has no lease or legal claim

Law Enforcement Authority: Once verified, law enforcement can act quickly to restore possession to the owner

A long time coming, SB 1333 gives Texas property owners a powerful new tool to reclaim property from unlawful occupants, quickly and efficiently. If you're having a problem with tenancy, or any real estate law matter please contact McGarvey at 281.501.3030.
