They can never seize your personal property. First landlord must give you a 3-day notice to pay or vacate. If you don't pay or move out, landlord files eviction at the justice of the peace office. There will be a hearing and you will lose - the judge will give you a date (usually a couple of days) to move out. If you don't move out by that date, landlord obtains a writ and constible will be present when your possessions are placed on the curb and the house is secured (you are locked out).
