Harris County Precinct 2 Constable Jerry Garcia sheds light on a new strategy to handle squatters, emphasizing community involvement and precise terminology.

Texas Central Railway purchased 41 homes in the White Oak subdivision with plans to eventually remove them and make way for the high-speed train project, but now, many of the purchased houses have fallen into disrepair, and squatters have moved into them.

You may have heard of the term “squatter” recently, seen the word in headlines, or seen a video of authorities or a property owner removing them from their property, or at least trying to.
