Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Texas

Eviction or Quit Notice

My daughter is disabled and lives in my home in TX with her boyfriend. He is mentally and emotionally abusive to her. I have told him several times he needs to stop being verbally abusive to her and the agreement with my daugher was that he would live there and help take care of her. He does not help her and has done nothing but mooch off her and take advantage of her. She is bi-polar, has fibromyalgia and panic disorder. He calls her names and intimidates her. He and I had a verbal agreement that after 3 months on his job he would start paying rent. He has been on his job now over 8 months and still says he can't help with rent. My daughter has told him to leave and he refuses. I have had 2 complaints from the manager of the community regarding his dog. He has a very large dog (part pit bull) and the dog is very intimidating and neighbors have complained. I have told him the dog has to go and he has refused to get rid of the dog. Can I get him out with a Notice to Quit? I called the JP office and was told I needed to give a 30 day eviction notice but if I do that he will steal everything my daughter owns. He has stolen money from her purse previously. He also has a warrant for his arrest in Oklahoma. Can you help?
