Hello, Kira:
I am so sorry to hear that you’re dealing with such a difficult person. It’s surprising to me that the police, in particular, won’t take action since it sounds like this individual is wreaking havoc on an entire apartment community and that her behavior is very dangerous to others.
Your landlord also does have a duty to keep the premises safe, especially if numerous people have reported this person’s behavior. It sounds like you should contact a lawyer for some additional guidance — they will take note of the specific facts of your claims, including names, dates, and reports, and can advise you of your options. You can also contact the Texas legal services hotline for additional resources. Finally, Texas Social Services might be able to help out, too. You can reach them at 211Texas.org.
Best of luck — I hope it all works out okay for you. Be well.
