LANDLORD STEALS HORSES

I live in texas and was evicted from a farm property. The landlords agent would not allow us to get three of the horses off of he property after the deadline to move was passed. We were told we would be arrested if we set foot back on the property. I made arrangements for a friend to go back to get them a few days later and she was told the "gave the horses to some local people." I still do not know what became of them. Please let me know my rights. They also kept my clothes and personal property.

Please post HERE the details, Landlord name, property location, agents name, complete description of horses including registration. The court jurisdiction where the judgement was issued, when you were served with the judgement.

Call a Deputy and file a complaint that you have no proof the welfare of your horses is being protected.

I am in Texas and familiar with this.

If you respond quickly I may be able to get your problem addressed as HORSE THEFT!

Your rights depend on what deadline you are referring to. Was it the deadline placed on you by the eviction court? If so, your property may have been removed lawfully from the premises. This is commonly referred to as a set out and takes place after the deadline from the eviction court. Your items are removed and "set" to the curb according to court rules after the deadline has passed (and as witnessed usually by a local court official). (Obviously he wouldn't allow a LL to set animals to the curb and they would have been sent to a person who would care for them.) Has the court eviction already taken place? Also, if an eviction had already taken place, was it required of you to have local law enforcement escort you onto the property to retrieve your belongings (a requirement in some states)?

If the deadline you are referring to was the deadline from the Pay or Quit Notice issued by the LL, you may be the victim of an illegal eviction. File a police report and seek legal assistance from an atorney.

One additional note: Was this farm property listed as residential property or commercial property? Check local zoning as this can make a huge difference. If it is listed as comercial property, state residential LL-Tenant laws and protections do not apply to you. You need to look through state law for a section on commerical evictions or tenants. Many states have few commercial rental laws. The lease is considered the law. Commercial LLs often have the right to seize property, lock out tenants, or sell tenants' property off to pay monies owed. Residential LLs would have no right to do these things. Farm property may fall under this or it may not in your state. You need to check.

ZONING!!! Yeah that's the ticket...

Hey barrister, is your Coggins Certificate valid?!

Geez, old sayin, Sometimes it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I'm sorry if the post offends you. But if the zoning of the property is listed as "Commercial" on the zoning map, the judge will not listen to residential rental law arguments if the poster attempts to sue the LL. The LL, no doubt, will happily point this out to the judge.

In that case, residential law will not apply to the poster at all. Only commercial law applies, if the poster's state has ANY commercial laws (most states have none!). Those states that do have commercial laws normally have the right to seizure of property. It makes a huge difference when considering if it was an illegal eviction or a proper seizure of property. I'm sure this matters to the poster.

Okay

As PO (property owner) was neither the registered owner and did not posess a BILL OF SALE, the PO is a Horse Thief regardless.

Further, the PO transported the Horse(s) off the property without a valid Coggins Cert. The known owner is listed on the Coggins Cert.

The only out for the PO is if he called the SO and surrender the animal(s) to a valid NPO rescue, which the owner can reclaim their property.

POINT BLANK PO is a THIEF!
