[OT] Any news on the widow who lost her house?

[Garryowen]

Some time ago we had a thread on an 80 year old widow whose house was sold for a pittance to pay her association dues.

Do any of you Texans have an update on what has happened recently to her? Anything further on the scumbag who ripped her off? It sounded at the time like it was a deliberate plot to rip off properties.


thanks

I'm in Houston where this is taking place. They were in court this week. The home owners association offered the scumbag who bought her house for 5.000 50,000 to give it back to her and he said no. The judge sent them back to talk some more. He is a real low-life.

All the decent people of that city should shun that guy and the horse he rode in on.

What a brazen creep.

I am confident that the scumbag will get is just reward in the future when he will stand before a Judge who is not so patient with those who devour widows' homes.

In the meantime, it would be nice to hear the good folks of Texas, before shunning him, gave him a nice new coat of tar and feathers to protect him from the elements.

gee, Garry, aren't you afraid he'd sue somebody?

Gosh, BWD, never thought of that. I wuz thinkin about the 'law of the west.' Not that I really understand it, 'cause I never heard it explained. But I sure never figured it ever included sueing anybody.

'Course, at the same time, most of the movies I saw showed the law of the west usin' more ropes than feathers. But, shucks, I figger that the feathers don't hurt nobody. Now them ropes - that's another matter. Couldn't blame even a scumbag fer gettin upset if they went an' used the rope on 'im.

Aside from the court proceedings, the matter was presented to the Texas Legislature, which happened to be in session at the time. In addition to changing the laws on how such sales can be forced, the bill was to have granted relief in this particular case.

Our outstanding lege refused to pass the bill.
