    Our house is about paid for and not that big (about 1600 as ft.) So it wouldn't make any financial sense to move. It needs a few repairs and there's other places in Texas I'd rather live, but I'm pretty sure we'll stay where we're at. Unfortunately, unless you live in town where it's expensive you have to drive to get to things.

    And we won. Permanent restraining order. She was nuts, arguing with the judge, stomping up to his bench and pounding on it (big no no. The bailif was heading over). She did our work for us, Knott and myself did not even have to testify.

    Since being served she's been to the courthouse 4 times to stage hissy fits at the clerks. Not a good idea, all gets noted in the docket. Then at court she argues with the judge. Marches up to the bench and bangs her fists on it.

    Also not good. Surprised she was not arrested as the bailif was heading towards her.

    Seems she circulated a form letter perhaps at her church with sections they could fill in that "I ___________ have known squirell nutkin since ____________. I met her at ______________. She is the kindest, gentlest, respectful person in the world and she would never peek in someone's bedroom window. Signed _____________."

    None of these people know her at home, none see her here and a few just signed the form and did not fill it in. Our judge rejected all that she brought. Not applicable, no dates, nothing notarized, and as evidence she presented a gardening hat.

    She also presented a typewritten note from former governor John Spellman. I had to look him up, he's still alive but has to be near 90 and that was likely written by her too.

    Glad you got that hurdle over with. What do you think are the chances she'll respect the restraining order?

    I think the camera we got is doing us more good. I think she'll obey it for a couple months and then test the waters to see what she gets away with. At that point we decide whether or not to call the police. Our lawyer said one always has the choice of saying "ok, that one was free. You do that again and we call the cops" but if she stalks Knott to work or calls they get called.
