QUESTION

Can my aunt take me to court?

Asked on May 29th, 2021 on General Practice - Texas
More details to this question:
My aunt wants me to payback taxes she paid on my cousin's house. I was evicted about a month after she paid and had to find a new place to live after being homeless for a month. I'm not benefitting at all from her paying those taxes. She wants to take me to court now, can she do that?

Anybody can sue anybody for anything at anytime, the question is whether she can win, which depends on many more facts than you've stated.  The fact that you've not ultimately benefitted doesn't matter; if I loan you money to pay for lottery tickets, or to buy stock, the fact that the ticket was a loser or that the stock is now worthless does not mean that you don't owe me the money.
