Produktbeschreibung
Step into the shoes of a black woman while she takes you through a legal hellhole that has lasted more than thirteen years. The Odyssey began in 1988 when she moved to Kingwood, Texas, approximately 23 miles from Houston. What started as a fairy tale ended up as a realty nightmare, having unknowingly bought into a planned community with foreclosable maintenance fees, her family and she had no idea what was ahead. At closing, she thought they had protected their property. Find out how Texas' dirty little secret began and how the judges, Community Associations Institute (CAI) attorneys, constable and even HUD are involved in the cover-up in this cottage industry; and it is just not in Texas. The author, Harvella Jones, President of The Texas Homeowner's Advocate Group, co-founded with her husband Johnnie, in 1996, will give you a bird's eye view of what it was like to lose her homestead after a five-year intense battle to save it and fight to save her mind as well as her life after stress threatened to take both. It promises to be one of the best documentaries you will ever read from a pro se litigant in the Texas judicial System trying to save a home from a homeowner association foreclosure. It is a 360-page book with over 100 documents illustrating unbelievable legal events, such as the cancelled check for $184.92 the actual amount the buyer paid for her $75,000 homestead property. If you thought Winona Blevins had a bad experience, wait until you read this book!

Autorenporträt
Here I am with my husband Johnnie. I remember when I was attending Quincy Elementary School in Cleveland, Ohio, someone had stolen my lunch money and I locked down the classroom and began to interrogate each student. I never found my lunch money but when I left the room I was an activist. Fast forward to today, in 1988, my family and I relocated to Houston, Texas, in what we thought would be the most peaceful, happiest time of our life. We arrived with a virgin spirit and hope for a new life in a new place. We always say God must have wanted us to live in Texas because it is a long way from home. Who would have thought that our purchase into a planned community would have uncovered the worse abuse of Constitutional Law we have ever seen in our lives. We found the oppression to be worse than any living condition we had ever been in. What we endured for many years trying to right a wrong was a black hole in our life. I wrote this book to help other homeowners across this country to cope while protecting their property and homestead rights. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I never want any other homeowner to suffer the way we did because of ignorance and innocence. If we want to keep that roof over our heads, we are going to have to take an active role in watching over our property and homestead rights. We cannot and should not rely on the judicial system to do it for us. We must take an active role in what happens to our homes and monitor the laws pertaining to our property and homestead rights. Contact our legislators when there is something wrong and vote for legislators that support our cause. When we back away from our duty to protect ourselves, we hand our rights over to a caretaker whose top priority does not include us. I am an activist and will be one until the day I die.
