Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Common Law. Hello, 12 years ago my wife and I bought a home.We have 2 kids together. She passed away 5 years ago. My girlfriend and her 2 kids moved in about a year ago, and now things are not working out between us. I want her to move out but she said no because she has a right to be in my home. Does texas have a law saying she does have a right to be there, or can i force her to move out?

Did she sign a written lease?

Go down to your local Justice Court and get the paperwork for filing a "forcible entry and detainer" suit (aka eviction). And hide the sharp objects. And lock up your guns and jewelry.
