I need some help. My mother passed away in November 2012. Up to the point she died, they had been residing together for several years. Her boyfriend started dating in April of 2013, and because of certain choices he was making, I asked him not to bring the new women around if he had my children. He was fine with that, and then he moved her in with him. He sent me a text advising just that, and I told him I would come and get the rest of mine and my moms belongings. He proceeded to tell me that he would only give me what he thought I deserved, and we haven't spoken since. I know from Facebook that he's gotten rid of my mom's desk and her living room furniture, which I don't believe he had the right to do. I live in Texas, how do I go about getting all of mine and my mom's belongings back?

Did your mother have a will? If so, did she will these items to you? How long were her and her boyfriend together?

I have a feeling that she lived in his home, or an apartment, because you don't say anything about who got the house.
The fact that they were together 'for many years' still doesn't give him any rights UNLESS she left a will. If she didn't, you can go to Probate Court where she lives and apply to be executor of her estate. The court will tell you how to proceed to do an inventory of her possessions. But I also have a feeling that she either left a will and left it all to him (or you would have been notified), or she left no will because all she had was some keepsakes and furniture.
You decide if you want to go to Texas and fight this, or work out something with her boyfriend.

Yes, And this part is sort of confusing:

"and then he moved her in with him."
To many un-referenced pronouns. The first "he" would be the late mother's boyfriend, but who is "her" and who is "him"?

AK, if you read the OP's first post, her late mothers boyfriend has a new girlfriend. The OP didn't want her children around this woman.

"then he moved her in with him" is easy to figure out. He is the late mothers boyfriend, her is the new girlfriend, and him is again the late mothers boyfriend.
