Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

From Rockwall, Texas

Hello,

Approximately 3 years ago, a friend of mine lost his job and was unable to collect unemployment, so I offered to let him stay with me for a while. No contract was signed. In 2009, I was a one time payment of $200, and in 2010, I was given $500. So in three years, he has paid $700. As of today he is still unemployed, with no means of income of any type.

I now have a fianc�e and her 14 year old son living in the house also.

This morning at 6:30am I walked out of the bedroom, and the �friend� physically assaulted me, unprovoked, hitting me about the head and chest area. The police were called and he was arrested and taken to jail.

Now I fear for the safety of my fianc�e, her son, myself and what may happen to my house. What legal right do I have to keep him out of my home? The police said I would have to file a 30 day eviction notice, and during this time I could not keep him out of the house. I do not want him around my fianc�e and her son� do I have options?

Thank you in-advance for your help.
