What can you do with a person living in a house you own?

So we bought a house in a city auction, it has a person living inside, after traying to make a deal without luck, we do an eviction, win in firts instance with the city court, now the person have done delay tactics like calling sick, saying she will do a redemption and later just dissapering and right now asking for an appeal in short its like 10 months so far living there for free....

Can we do something to try to pressure or something? Or get any compensation?

Quote from @Christian Santillan:

In Texas? What's taking so long? In a state with a fair court system, this should have been wrapped up in 90 days or less. It's dragged out, so they're going to continue dragging it out until someone gets serious. 

I think you need a better attorney that knows how to handle illegal occupants quickly and firmly.
