OK, outraged Texas homeowners confronting a squatter climbing through the
window to enter their house.
Look at that.
Squatters breaking into my house again through the window.
Squatters breaking into my house,
interrupting my work and recording me.
I can show you his right?
Go ahead. Breaking the law.
You are breaking the law.
Those Texas homeowners, Abram Mendez and his wife,
Judith Matthews, join us now.
Good morning to both of you.
Hi. Good morning. Good morning.
So
thank you. Judith. We saw you or we heard your
voice.
You're recording this guy who's breaking into your house.
I guess the front door is locked.
He doesn't have a key,
so he has to use the window.
Tell us what happened.
I mean it's a long story,
but yeah, he when we
secured a home for him to not access to to
the house,
he start getting through the window.
So I was recording him to have some proof of
what was going on.
We we called the police and we didn't get any
help from them.
Instead the police told him that he
had the he has the right to sell the property
and and the police consider him as a resident and
didn't gave us any,
didn't give us any, any any help
because they said that it was a civil matter.
So when you looked up this
law which would give him the right,
the police did not read that right.
It's doesn't come for another three more years.
After 30 days comes something similar as far as
that they could stay, but nowhere near what the police
were explaining to him
or the accused. We we went to the consul's office
because our county has a constable.
They explained to us the right to tell to the
police
that is a trespassing matter.
We explained the law, the letter and how to enforce
it.
And yet the police did not want to do anything.
In fact the police the next event which was an
attack as you're seeing here This is me.
I'm I'm running into give between the aggressor and my
wife a natural you know any husband would do
and the police instead said that
it it looked the opposite that he
that it was my fault because I got on his
way.
That just does not make any sense.
He's going
to protect our property. So let me explain to the
viewers at home.
Y'all bought this fixer upper.
You hired this tile guy and he said,
look I want to finish the job quickly so y'all
can move in and you can use your house.
So just let me live there for a few days.
I'll do the tile in the bathroom.
I'll sign Y'all made him sign a little contract that
was written out on a piece of paper.
He signed it and now he's staying and it's been
30 days.
Has he finished the job?
And what is this guy's story?
Is he homeless?
He went to be homeless.
He never, never even worked in the restroom.
The first few days he was complaining of his gout.
Then after I was trying to get a work schedule
from him
he would just give me runarounds about.
Oh I have yet to go get the tools but
yet he has all those other
you know, accoutrements in the house and stuff and
and it was just little by little
showing that there was it was a room.
It was a house that he wanted all along and
with our trust,
he abused us. And you know,
I've been asked in the prior interviews that what you
wanted to heed to other homeowners is trust no one.
There is no good deed that's going to be returned
with good.
There is no, there's there's not very much silver lining
to this. And you don't know.
You could scream in,
use a credit, you could go through contracts.
You don't know what state or whom the idea that
they will hit.
They're just they're just you're just really sad that the
home warriors,
we don't have any protection.
We don't have any protection.
You know there's legislators that are out there,
such as
Governor DeSantis who are making headway,
but we need more headway across America to protect us,
the homeowners, because there's very little they
it it's it's really a gimmick I think for the
municipalities across America to make money because we're already out
almost $500 just in court fees to file and in
an advice,
very sparse advice from the police and the constables to
help us get these things mitigated.
And there's going to be no help that he's already
damaged well over
South of $2000 in damaging our house.
He kicked in a a door to get access to
a bathroom.
We broke windows. He's illegally tapped into electricity.
We called Code Compliance to try to get him to
get out.
And there's just so many different options that we were
given
by law enforcement in our local law law enforcement.
But the the fact of the matter is that they're
I'll education
knowing what's the real law is the is the problem.
Yeah. Abraham Yudith. I'm so sorry this is happening to
you.
I know San Antonio. I used to live there.
Hard working people. Y'all bought this house your dream home.
You're going to fix it up.
And this guys taking advantage of you
there is this is unbelievable.
Hopefully our congressman, your congressman in the area are listening
to this and they'll change the laws because this should
not happen in America.
God bless you. Everyone say a prayer that this is
resolved soon for this family.
Thank you.
