A: This sounds like an eviction case in which you have been evicted from the apartment. If the tenant does not filer an appeal, a writ of possession is issued ten days after the date the judgment was granted. That gives the tenant ten days to move out of the apartment. A writ of possession will be enforced by the appropriate Dallas constable's office. They commonly post a letter advising the tenant a day ahead of time so that the tenant can finish moving any remaining items out before the constable must remove the tenant from the premises by force if necessary. When the constable arrives with a writ of possession to enforce the court's order, the tenant is out of time to get any remaining stuff out. He will be removed from the premises, and any remaining personal property is treated as abandoned and will most likely be discarded or put out on the curb for bulk trash collection.
