You can sue for the back due rent but if you evict, you can't get the future rent that would have been due under the lease. Also, the eviction is a separate suit from the suit for unpaid rent. Unpaid rent is ususlly not worth chasing. Cost money to sue, and hard to collect. Evict him, get a better tenant.


So I guess I cant roll any expenses I'd incur as the result of having to sue, into the lawsuit, no?

In Louisiana you'd have a privilege on the non-exempt contents of the premises (and those removed less than 15 days prior to his eviction).
Maybe there's something similar to that in Texas and you can have some executory process counterpart that lets you sell it quick
