Evicting a co-owner's tenant in Texas?

Long story short, the co-owner of my home took on a tenant without my permission (legal, unfortunately). She does not live in the home. I'm not getting any portion of the rent and not being paid for use of utilities that I pay in full. I'm not on the lease as a landlord, but the tenant did sign a release of liability for me. The co-owner and I are not on speaking terms, my lawyer has advised me not to engage with her at all, and she lives across the country.

It's been just under a week and the tenant has punched holes in a door, had guests over every night, uses items that don't belong to him after being told to stop, has been loud and disturbing everyone else in the house as late as 3-4am, has thrown items belonging to me from a hallway into a spare room, and is honestly probably selling drugs from the convos I overhear, but I can't prove the last part yet. I honestly think he does meth based on his behaviors and has multiple domestic violence charges so I'm not really willing to try and reason with him at this point.

At what point can I just evict this dude? What evidence do I need? He's not under a lease to me so I'm not sure if I'd even evict him or if I go after my co-owner.

Unfortunately it's 2:30 am on a Sunday and he's blasting nu-metal loud as fuck and my lawyer is probably sleeping like a baby, so I can't reach out to him until Monday.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
