Aftermath of an Eviction

[Jarrod Weaver]

I suppose it is good news that my first eviction went as smoothly as it possibly could have. Unfortunately, between the unpaid rent and paint/carpet damage to the property a considerable amount of money was lost.

The eviction stemmed from a domestic split where the wife decided it was over and moved out of state and the husband couldn't afford the payment on his own. Since both of them have good jobs and broke the lease due to bad choices I would like to file a judgement against them both to try and recoup the loss.

Does anyone have experience they can share regarding the steps needed to get a legal judgement against them in Texas?

Mmove on :)  You won't get the money.  And you've got bigger fish to fry.  And, they've got bigger problems - it's biblical.  Move on :)
