HOUSTON – Harris County Precinct 7 deputy constables forced their way into an unlicensed group home in southeast Harris County and found more than three dozen elderly residents, most with medical conditions, crammed into a four-bedroom house with only one working toilet.
When deputy constables arrived at the house just after 3 p.m., two attendants inside refused to let them in.
The pantry and the refrigerator were barren and residents medications were spread out in plastic containers on the kitchen counter.
This is really a shock.”When neighbor Benna McGowen stuck her head inside the front door and saw the living conditions, she couldn’t hold back the tears.
Officials said he runs several other similar homes and has been investigated by the Houston Police Department in the past.
