<prompt> Human: I live with my parents in Texas, and my dad is very controlling. I currently borrow his car to get to and from work, paying for gas, coolant, and oil, but not insurance. I pay 400 a month in rent, but have only a verbal agreement. I should have enough in 2-4 weeks to purchase a car, and shortly thereafter get an apartment. I believe I can find a place to couch surf for a short time if I get kicked out, but I would have no way to get to my job. Ive saved receipts for most of my large purchases, like a mini fridge, which he has previously attempted to claim as his. He also had previously threatened to throw me out on the streets. What protections do I have from being evicted? I have a few Christmas gifts, like a desk chair. Do I have any claim to them? I worked for a summer a few years ago, and saved 1900 in an account consigned by my dad. He took the card connected to the account, and later bought me a computer for college. I dont know if it was off of my account. Although Im now sure my computer isnt worth 1900, Im willing to trade that account for the computer. If he claims the computer, would he be correct? Can I demand repayment for my account? Thanks in advance. Im currently down the street in Wendys posting, and must soon return or risk said eviction. Ill try to get back on later tonightedit thanks for all the help  <response>: First of all, youre not using the word eviction properly. An eviction is when you are given notice to vacate, dont vacate, the owner goes to court, and the Sheriff forcibly removes you. Secondly, your parents cant just kick you out. Its your home and you have rights same as any other tenant. They much give you 30 day notice to vacate, and then go to court if you dont leave. At no point can they force you out on their own or charge the locks. If they do this, call the police and say you have been locked out of your home and they will send somebody. Having said that, once you have been given 30 day notice, you want to be out by the because you do not want an eviction on your record. He does not have to allow you to use his car. I dont know if it was off of my account. Call whoever you borrowed from and find out.
