Teacher, family of squatters finally removed from Texas home

A Houston public school teacher and her family have been evicted from a luxury home they were squatting in for months after using a fake lease to remain on the premises.

Amberlyn Prather had been ordered by a judge last month to vacate the home she and her family were shacking up in after illegally taking residence in the property, which was listed for sale and vacant, in January by flaunting a fabricated lease agreement, according to ABC13.

“It’s insane,” realtor Shanequa Garrett, the authorized seller of the property, told the outlet in May after the courts ruled the family had been squatting in the suburban home and needed to be evicted.

Prather, a fourth-grade teacher in the Houston Independent School District, squeeze in over two more weeks at the property before Garrett could get back to work on June 15, when they were officially removed — despite being ordered to leave at the beginning of the month.


“Finally, they’re out,” Garrett told the outlet. “Now it’s to keep the squatters out completely. We don’t want another situation like this.”

Garrett cracked down on how the family gained access to the home when she conducted an inspection.

“They could climb on a trash can and climb on the roof,” Garrett told the outlet. “From this window (which was loose), they can just open it from the outside and jump in. Because we kept getting the house rekeyed, and they kept getting in.”

The Houston realtor was forced to make several court appearances to expose the squatters and was told by the constable’s offices that the issue was a civil matter and not criminal throughout the ordeal.

Most squatting cases are investigated as a civil matter — with civil courts able to evict the squatters quickly — but those who are knowledgeable can easily play the system in their favor.

After painstakingly making her argument in court for months, the judge ruled they should never have been in the house and the lease agreement they provided as evidence they were renting the home located 20 miles outside the center of Houston was fake.

Squatter should have about 2 days.
Enough time to positively determine who owns it, who they are, who the squatters are,
and to form a team of the most thuggish cops to remove them. In a manner that
encourages them to not need removal again!

Act like an El Negro and u’s a El Negro.

Well now we are all seeing what these liberal teachers are like. How can they teach kids when they can't follow the law. She should be fired.

That’s BS. Just another darkie being a darkie. We’re the utilities on? Shut them off, they won’t stay long. I knew a guy that rented a trailer house out. If renters quit paying, he let freon out of AC system. You don’t stay long in a trailer without AC

Slumlord?

And the teacher won't even be fired.

I think I’m getting a clearer picture of the players…..

“ It’s insane, realtor Shanequa Garrett, the authorized seller of the property,…”

Every county needs a volunteer squatter team to show up about 2am and make it very clear that they would be long gone by sunrise. It's nothing but theft and legal means aren't working or they take way too long and too much money. Forged rental agreements need to be met with some solid jail time. This crap needs to be stopped and our elected officials aren't doing their jobs to end it.

They are known to be good climbers.

I'm not sure I understand - getting evicted is all that happened to her after a ruling where she committed fraud?

I picked up on that too. You’d have thought the judge woulda been a bit peeved about that.

2-words. Protected Class........


As Goalie said , she won't even be fired from her teaching job.

To call that a civil matter is an absolute fugking joke.

That's where our elected officials aren't doing their jobs. They're letting them get away with theft and fraud. You can't sue them because they never have any money so it's just your own money that gets spent.

We have friends who inherited property near Bend, OR. They had squatters move in and even after 2 years, they still can't get rid of them. Oregon squatters 'rights' laws really suck.

Lots of vacant properties around our county. Some pretty remote.

Not uncommon for it to happen, even on raw land. Folks move in with motorhome, trailers, tents and such. Produce papers when the Sheriff's officers show up. The deputies have told me it then becomes a civil matter as it is not their job to determine the validity of the papers.

Folks that leave their properties up the hill, where it gets snowed in pretty good in winter, have come back to find folks using it.

13% strikes again

I’ve seen other wise on evictions

What is funny is that as long as the state is not being harmed, they couldn't give a shit less. You'll see this throughout the legal system.

The instant the state loses a nickel all hell will break loose.

Tired of this bullshit.

Friend of mine with 3 young daughters had some random dude pitch a tent in the woods beside his house.He called the cops and they were fugking useless the guy did move his schit when papa showed up 🤣🤣
