Kamin is scheduled to announce the lawsuits Wednesday and name more than 10 defendants. The cases stem from an investigation that expanded after residents reported concerns about property ownership, according to the Harris County Attorney's Office.
Among those affected is Keata Wade, whose family home on Teton Street has been at the center of one of the lawsuits.
"It was the only piece of property left belonging to my father and grandmother, so it was important for me to keep it in my family," Wade said.
Wade said she and her sister were preparing to refurbish the home when they discovered they no longer owned it. According to the Harris County Attorney's Office, records showed the property was owned by a woman identified as Antia Martinez.
This week, Kamin filed two separate lawsuits against Martinez and about a dozen other people.
"The two cases we will be discussing are people who brought it to us, and that led to a broader investigation where we uncovered multiple homes that were stolen," Kamin said.
According to one of the lawsuits, authorities believe several defendants forged a warranty deed by posing as a member of the Wade family, transferring ownership of the Teton Street property before signing the deed over to Martinez.
Kamin said some of the properties named in the lawsuits have since been sold to buyers unaware of concerns about the properties' ownership histories.
"There are multiple groups of victims here, but we're doing everything we can to get their homes as well as those who have fallen victims unwillingly," Kamin said.
Wade said she hopes the property can be returned to her family.
"My grandmother worked very, very hard to leave something for her grandchildren, and something like this happens. What can we do?" Wade said.
Kamin is expected to hold a news conference Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. to discuss the lawsuits and proposed changes she wants to pursue related to the issue.
