A Texas woman says squatters refused to leave her property and changed the locks after falsely insisting that they had a lease

A Texas homeowner in Meyerland, Houston, has finally regained access to her property after a group of people changed the locks and moved in without her authorization. Linda Giang reported the trespassers to ABC13 Houston and expressed her concern over the unauthorized occupants who had been living on air mattresses without any furniture for almost a month. One of the occupants, Tamisha Holmes-Bey, claimed that she paid $6,000 to a realtor for a lease that had her name, her husband’s name, and her children’s names on it. However, public records revealed that Holmes-Bey had lived in Texas for decades and had been involved in civil and criminal cases in several counties. After Houston Police declined to intervene, they were able to prove that the lease was false over the weekend and Holmes-Bey and her family were ordered to vacate the property.
