My inlaws have a couple of insane people living with them. The father lives and works out of state so the mother is stuck almost home alone with an insane daughter who has (according to rumers) warrants after her and is pregnant, a even more insane husband who no one knows and brings weapons into the house (this being neutral, no weapon territory, and not even the father can bring home the guns he wants) and a young daughter. The new husband threatons everyone in the family, has been manipulating everyone, and even steals like a klepto. He keep dangerous phychological drugs lying around and almost wound up fighting my brother-in-law and me over a set of car keys that the parents had been paying for and had in their name.

The kids do not pay, did not pay much on the car, refuse to contribute, have gotten more combative since they were denied their "rights" to the parents money, have threatoned everyone, tazed the aforementioned brother in law, and have been here for some months after being told to leave. The daughter brought back serious debts and some of which supposably could get her locked up.

Assuming that the warrant for arrest thing is true can we simply call the cops, have them remove the daughter for it, and take the husband for harboring? Can we use the threats as an excuse for her harboring? It is cold but this could be the last chance. My wife is very pregnan and my daughter young as well so I can't keep staing here and my work cycle starts tomorrow. I need to know the possible outcomes before my next 4 off.

They have to be evicted according to Texas law. This is from Harris County but refers to State Law - Filing Eviction Cases (http://www.ccl.co.harris.tx.us/jp/evictions/filing.htm)

A request for an Order of Protection can be filed but that is not going to keep everyone off the property. Likewise, if you get one person arrested the remainder are going to be there.

Yes, if there's an outstanding Texas warrant, notify the Police of the person's whereabouts. If it's an out of State warrant it's not so easy.

As far as haboring a fugitive - anyone/everyone who knows a person is a fugitive and does nothing is harboring a fugitive.

Legally you have no standing and your in-laws have to take action.

How did this group end up living with your in-laws? Sounds like someone should have realized they are - minimally - a problem.

Agreed, they will not arrest husband for harboring, And of course the inlaws are harboring also if they are aware that they are wanted and do nothing.

But agreed you can do nothing ( except call and report the person with the warrant.

I'm not sure I quite understand much of what OP is saying, but this in particular has me scratching my head:


... this being neutral, no weapon territory, and not even the father can bring home the guns he wants ...

Is this a portion of Texas that has suspended the 2nd Amendment or something?

And has it re-institued debtors' prisons?

... The daughter brought back serious debts and some of which supposably could get her locked up.
...



... But agreed you can do nothing ( except call and report the person with the warrant.

Apparently OP and his wife live in the premises. If these "crazy" people are some sort of a threat, he has standing, if that's what you are getting at.
