Shocking video reveals how squatters trashed Texas woman's home and sold her belongings at yard sale after breaking into her home and turning it into 'drug den' while she was away caring for sick mother

A Texas home owner is furious after squatters turned her home into a 'drug den' and sold all of her belongings - and without repercussions.

Terri Boyette was caring for her ailing mother in Florida when her neighbor in Dallas alerted her that she had a squatter in her home. 

She had hired people to renovate and paint her home. Once she left, however, one of the workers broke in and set up shop.

The squatter had left drug paraphernalia, such as crack pipes and needles, in her oven and drawers, she told the New York Post.

Her items have also either been destroyed beyond repair or sold. Boyette's bed was moved to her backyard, a bike and scooter had been put in her shower, and trash and dirty dishes were scattered throughout her home.

What's worse, it took Boyette six months to have this squatter removed, as they are protected by squatters' rights laws.

'All my stuff has been sold through the yard sale and online,' Boyett said. 'Apparently he was letting people rent from him.' 

Before traveling out the state, Boyette told the workers they had to leave, but the squatter broke in and refused to vacate the premises.

The second Boyette was informed of her squatter, she called the police to report the break-in. But the police informed her that because her unwanted visitor had been there for more than ten days, she had to get attorneys involved.

The process dragged on for months. 

'We had to send the thirty day notice, so he gets the thirty day notice that he's going to be removed. And he got another thirty day notice that had to expire,' Boyette said.

'After I sent those, I got a court date in December and then when I went before the judge, [the squatter] didn't show up of course, so she granted the eviction.

'She extended the appeal to January because she didn't want anyone to be homeless over the holidays, and I'm like — I'm homeless over the holidays.'

The squatter was officially evicted on March 20 after receiving his final eviction notice on February 6.

But the squatter has been relentless.

'He has tried to come back,' Boyette said

Dallas, Texas is the second biggest hotspot for squatters, with an estimated 475 homes taken over by squatters.
