lol. This entire thread is a hilarious dumpster fire. Two groups of people neither of which have any clue what they're talking about, talking nonsense at each other.
Squatting is covered under adverse possession, sec 16.025 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code which came into effect September 1, 1985 under a republican government.
The concept, which dates back to ancient rome, is a way of dealing with city blight. Adverse possession means if you find an abandoned home and meet particular criteria you can become the owner of the home after a set period of time depending on which criteria you meet (somewhere between 3-10 years).
The idea is that people who abandon a property and don't maintain it, probably shouldn't continue ownership if someone else is willing to maintain it, pay taxes, etc. The idea works much better in smaller populations.
This particular case being reported did not involve a squatter. It involved someone trespassing with a fake document. Possession of the fake document is itself a criminal offence.
You are all on the internet, a resource with the collective knowledge of all humanity. Why on earth are any of you speculating? Open your browser and find out before you comment if you don't know. Seriously, what a bunch of clowns 🤡🤣
PS. To whoever it was that claimed the pilgrims came over in mediaeval times, they ended some 3 centuries before the pilgrims. The pilgrims had as much in common with mediaeval times as we do. 🤦🤣
