As many as 44 low-income families in Round Rock are facing possible homelessness this week after receiving eviction notices that gave them seven days to leave their freeze-damaged town homes, community advocates said.
The families who live at the Townhomes at Double Creek, 2500 Louis Henna Blvd., had been staying in hotels, waiting for repairs after water damage was caused by pipes bursting during the deadly freeze in mid-February.
They received a notice from the Double Creek management Thursday that they would be evicted from their homes Wednesday and that management would also stop paying for their stays in hotels, said Faith Adams, one of the residents.
Two area state legislators are split on their views of a series of identical bills that would effectively put an end to a police departmentâs use of no-knock entries in Texas.
According to legislative records, the first bill to be filed was Senate Bill 175 on Nov. 10, 2020, authored by Sen. Borris Miles, D-Houston. Sen. Juan âChuyâ Hinojosa, D-McAllen, has been added as a co-author.
In January, four representatives â Reps. Jasmine Crockett, D-Dallas; Ron Reynolds, D-Missouri City; Jeff Cason, R-Bedford and James Talarico, D-Round Rock â filed House Bill 1272.
Both bills would prevent a judge from issuing a warrant that would authorize a no-knock entry.
