My question involves a roommate in the State of: Texas
My estranged mother is 87 years old and suffering with dementia and lives in Texas. She has a male companion that has lived with her for the past 12 years in a mobile home that she owns and pays the space rent for each month. The male companion sexually assaulted her, he was arrested and is out on bail. My mother is being helped by Texas Protective Services and is in a nursing home until things can be sorted out. The male companion is back in her mobile home and he is not on the space rental agreement or paying any other bills that I know if. They do not pass the test as having a common law marriage. Can he be forced out of the mobile home or does the male friend have any right to remain in the mobile home? I plan to get guardianship and durable power of attorney so I can make the decisions that she needs to protect her and her property The Protective Services ask me to wait two weeks before contacting my mother, to give her doctor a chance to get her medication stabilized. I Live in California and will be going to Texas to help her anyway that I can as soon as they think it’s ok to see her.
