She is simply another version of criminal taking advantage of legal loopholes where crime isn’t being punished. It might be fun to point at CA and say things about how they seem to invite criminal activity. Maybe Abbott and Paxton need to be alerted to the issue. DeSantis got plenty tuff in FL because of squatters being an issue…wake up call!!

@@sopamarucha2388 yes, a check, especially if post dated, is a PROMISE to pay, and a promise is not enforceable. That's why back in the day when renters would give me, and I'd accept a check, I'd NOT want it post-dated. It's useless. Or I'd walk into the branch and 'Hammer~ the check at their branch: pay to have it certified. sometimes in one business I went to my clients branch three times before money covered the check.

Yes indeed. BRAVO to Rowlett police!

Wasn’t Colorado supposed to extradite her to Texas after she served her time in Colorado ? She’s up to her old tricks again..

3rd degree felony fraud? How about 1st degree theft? WTH? How low are the rental values in Texas? Talk about fascilitating criminal behavior. HOw about suspending driver's and automobile licenses for wanted criminals? What a joke

How could this be going on for years? Now suddenly, wow, we have an arrest warrant. So what. Apparently she was able to get away with her actions for years, so now they have paperwork and in the end she'll be back doing what she's been doing for years. Do not tell me she's that intelligent that she knows all the loopholes. Why wasn't she ever arrested for breaking and entering? It's a stupid story that never has an ending.

We have to fight to have the 'squatters rights' law to be abolished as soon as possible.

What a winner. So sad that the laws are so pathetic that it takes that long

Background checks matter. And why would you let someone move in on a personal check? First month and security should be cash, teller check, or money order.

She is also writing bad checks, defrauding, theft of rent by deception, etc.

My mom is married too Heather's father in law ,so Heather's ex hubby is my step brother that I haven't met yet.im a landlord and I feel for the landlors,bad tenants are pretty bad too deal with.what I remember talking too my mom 👩 about heather, years ago was my mom would just roll her eyes like she thought they were a hot mess too deal with,I had no idea it was like criminal behavior.

Texas change your squatting laws immediately. Honest law abiding tax paying citizens should not have to go through the courts to evict a squatter/criminal. Governor DeSantis did this immediately so we know it can be done.

Everyone keep an eye out for this woman.

Shame on Dallas (area) Police leadership for having to be forced to do their job. Thanks to the individuals willing to give this attention enough that bad actors (criminals) cannot always rely on other bad actors (apathetic leaders) not addressing the best interests of the people. Let’s hope that the DA will get serious as well…oftentimes it is unwilling or uncooperative prosecutors that stifle police work because “why bother if they won’t do anything”. It is my hope that “someone” will make this an issue enough that the serial squatters cannot just move down the road and hurt more people. Does the FBI still do public service work or are they only working for politicians now?

At this point, yes. If they can be rehabbed or not is an irrelevant issue. The main issue now is protecting the public.

in almost any law that i've dealt with, if your INTENT is to scam (renting, buying, leasing, trading, doesn't matter) you have committed a crime if it can be proven. whether the cheque is in your real name or not, or your original cheques clear, then don't, your INTENT is key for any D.A. , Crown Counsel in Canada, where ever.

I am glad she was got out of that poor couple's home in part because of CBS. As in the US most landlords in the UK have one property only and are not very rich people on the whole. My sons who live with me have one property each they let out and nothing else.

Any update?

Well what was she supposed to do? Everybody knows these squatters get away with it all the time. Cops won't even arrest them, calling it a "civil matter". She just thought she might as well live rent free too. You can't hardly blame her.

Watch out there is a squatter name Charlie Robinson who lives in Texas

HMM NEW Home She wont have to pay rent for?

I thought she’d been sentenced to prison

Nobody wants to pay rent but too bad that's the way it goes

I simply do not understand why our tax funded law enforcement agencies will all refuse to get involved and prosecute these fraudulent tenant/serial squatter schemes. Just laziness I suppose.

what happened to the dog?

Let her "squat" in a jail cell for around 10 years or so.
