Summary: Hamilton & Childs takes on a squatter dispute case that has left a homeowner powerless for over five years.

Houston, TX–Hamilton & Childs has recently taken on a case of an ongoing battle against squatters. The case has been open for over five years and has reached the Texas Supreme Court. Although the tenants won in court, the squatters continue to abuse loopholes that allow them to stay inside the home for an indefinite amount of time.

Squatting has become a serious issue with the number of cases rising every year. These individuals can occupy houses against the will of the homeowner and are offered legal protections from both the state and federal levels. If the squatter can make it obvious that they live on the property and are able to reside there for several years, then it’s possible for the squatter to legally own the property through adverse means.

Hamilton & Childs will be taking a strong stance against these state and federal protections on behalf of their client; a homeowner that has been fighting against squatters in their home for the better part of five years. While the case reached the Texas Supreme Court in a victory for the homeowner, the squatters continue to occupy the home and are protected due to federal and state laws.

Many homeowners in Texas are concerned about the possibility of squatters taking over their properties. As such, they will be closely watching the case in hopes that the federal and state laws are changed to be more accommodating for homeowners. Hamilton & Childs hopes to send a message to squatters that their behavior will not be tolerated and that homeowners can protect their properties.

As squatters continue to take advantage of the legal system, law firms like Hamilton & Childs will continue to protect the interest of homeowners and tenants alike.
