Harris County officials urge families to secure their loved one's properties to prevent trespassers from moving in unexpectedly. It's a process that can take months without the proper paperwork.
Officials in Southeast Houston are cracking down on squatters in vacant homes and a recent case highlights the importance of proper documentation for your loved one's property. Jennifer Hebert's mother, who owned a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on Hinds Street in Southeast Houston , passed away shortly before Hurricane Harvey. Before getting a call from the Precinct 2 Constables' office in April, she thought her brother was staying on the property.
"We needed a complainant party for us to pursue charges. It was hard to find a last will from the previous property owner."Garcia said it's a growing problem in his precinct and across the county - properties occupied by trespassers, and those properties missing proper documentation to issue a no-trespassing affidavit. They are currently working on five similar cases in the area.
