Eviction after foreclosure in Texas

Posted by Katie on November 26, 2004 at 20:20:53:

I purchased a condo in Texas at a non-judicial sale. There isn't a right to redemption if purchased by a third party. The wife of the former owner still lives there, and refuses to pay rent or the assessments. The first assessments were due over a week ago and she didn't pay. This month's assessment is due soon and her electric bill, instead of going down went up by 60 dollars. It leads me to believe that she doesn't care about paying anything. I want to evict her. I was told that since she's a hold over tenant, I only had to give her 3 days. I will give her 2 weeks. Can anyone please confirm the 3 day limit and whether I can just give her the notice to vacate in person and what do I include in the notice. I was thinking : on such a date I acquired the property at.....Please vacate by....x date. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you in advance. Katie.
