    Default Homeowner Rights with Roommate

    I am new to the forums and am doing my best at avoiding the cost of a lawyer to settle this. Help me PLEASE!

    Backstory

    My wife and I own a home in Texas and invited her sister to stay with us to get back on her feet after being evicted from her last apartment and fired from her last job. We have NO written lease or agreement. She pays about 300 per month when she can and I took out a second cable modem on MY account for her so she didn't clog up our internet, our small business is internet based.

    We started having trouble with her noise. She plays online video games and yells at the top of her lungs.....stuff like (****!, MOTHER****ER!, NIGGER!, WETBACK!, ETC). She does this whether or not we have company or we ask her to keep it down. She started using our cookware, dishes, food, spices, and washer/dryer without asking. She then started cranking the AC down when we were out of the house or asleep and we noticed with a doubling of our electric bill. She also keeps her room and bathroom in filth. Odd smells and she is downright dirty and lazy.

    We finally confronted her on all of these issues and she immediately started yelling and threatening to call the cops on ME with false claims of physical abuse and so on. Basically, she was verbally abusing and threatening us. She seems to think that she has the rights of a rent paying apartment dweller and that we owe it to her to provide more than water, gas, and electricity.

    What are my rights in this situation? I want her GONE and I want her to STOP using all of our stuff.

    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
