Then, I might not even get what I paid for it, no? and I have to go back to Texas at some point to pack, so no matter what, I have the Texas move to make. And if I don't clean out my classroom before they find out I am moving, the other teachers will pillage my room and take my personal/professional things. I know that sounds crappy, but I know it will happen.
a) You can sell a house through an agent without having to be in the state. My parents did this when they moved out of the country for 11 years. And with the housing market the way it is, feel lucky that it gets sold at all. You can put it up for auction with a minimum threshold so you don't lose money on the sale. b) I think losing some "personal/professional" items in a classroom FAR outweighs potentially having the case move back to TX instead of OH. Think about it: would you want to have to wait until Dec. 13th and HOPE Dad doesn't file something in TX before then just over some teaching materials & personal items? Is there not a co-worker who would be willing to go to your classroom on your behalf and box up the items that are important to you?
The house and your teaching stuff are just material possessions. In the big picture I think being able to stay put in OH would be better in the long run then going back to TX for 6 weeks and live with the risks. Just my 2 cents...
