What this guy is facing doesn't sound legal and the property manager/owner is out of line (and likely not a Texas Company).
- Whatever it says in the lease it MUST comply with the Law.
- If Texas Law says this guy can own/possess and USE a weapon in self defense, the lease clause means squat as it doesn't comply with the law.
- An illegal contract entered into - even willingly - like said lease appears to be is null and void and cannot be enforced.
- Eviction in three days? Bull. Thirty days is the standard, I can't see Texas being different.
All that said, this guy still needs a Lawyer ASAP but prolly can't afford one. He's still screwed. Caveat, 'if' gubmint section eight is involved, may be a new ballgame.
I'm not an attorney, but I've played one in court.
A lot of states have a 3 day to respond or quit notice. That means you simply respond to the eviction notice and then they serve notice that you must move. Depends on what state you are in to how much time you have. In CA it is about 3 months after the dust settles before person is actually shown the door by a sheriff. A good lawyer can probably beat this. How about all the neighbors this guy saved from vandalism and theft of their property get together and help him?
