My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Texas
I cosigned a lease with a roommate. The lease ends in 3 months, and he has threatened, in writing, to stop paying his share of the rent if I do not give him money. He has no legal claim to the money he is demanding.
He plans to leave the country in a few months, so taking him to small claims court would be a problem. I have his threat in writing. Should I try to get him evicted immediately? Can this be considered a criminal case? Can I put a travel hold preventing him from leaving the country?
