False Eviction Action Filed By Ex-Boyfriend
I moved in with my ex boyfriend in January 2005. My ex lived in a house he owned. I was his girlfriend NOT a tenant. He begged me to move in and there was never a discussion of rent. I bought groceries, and did household chores and that wasn't even an agreement, I did it out of initiative.
December 12, 2005 he came home early from work angry and proceeded to assualt me infront of my 2 small children. I called the police. He then assaulted me again. I called the police again.
When the police arrived he was arrested and taken to jail. The next day his family posted his bond on December 13, 2005. I then went and rented a Uhal on the same day and moved out I had my Aunts wrecker service in Dallas drive to Houston whereI lived to tow my truck to Dallas were I moved to. There are records and receipts from this.
He called me on the 15th of December and threatened to kill me if I did not drop the charges. I drove down to Houston on the 18th of December, flagged the DA during his hearing and gave him phne records. I then was called to testify on the phone call. A court reporter was brought in. I then under oath was asked by defense attorney when I was planning to vacate the house, or allow my ex to get some of his stuff. I stated that I moved the next day, and no longer resided in Houston. He asked me "so you are out of the house" I replied "yes". I also have a copy of this court transcript.
In November of 2006 I tried to get an apartment and was denied due to eviction on my record named landlord; my ex! I called the courts and found the one it was filed in. Apparently he filed on March 31, 2006 as the constable came out to serve me at his house it was unsuccessful, I didnt live there so naturally I would not receive the notice. On April 19, 2006, my ex walked into the court and was awarded a $2000.00 default judgement and slapped it right on my credit. To this day I cannot get a place to rent to me. I have been unsuccesful in finding an attorney who is able to handle this.
My children and I will be moving to a KOA site to live IN A TENT because we have no where to go. I need help! I could take him to small claims, but if he shows up with an attorney I could be screwed due to lack of knowledge about motions, and court loopholes and stuff, or so I have been told by an attorney.
What do I do? I called the court one day and said want to file an eviction, they stated OK I'll help you (same court he filed) They asked if it was due to non payment, and I said no this oerson moved out months ago I just want to file an eviction. The lady stated I couldn't do that. I replied with but I want too. She replied with mam' if the person has moved out you can not file eviction. And I stated back with well you let my ex do that to me. When I told her the stpry she was like OH MY! And told me I need to hire an attorney, I am trying and I cant find one who does this. They all stated I have a damn good case, but they unfortunately didnt do that type of law!

Try getting help through a legal aid office. You've already waited more than a year, which could make it more difficult to get relief.
