So what is the legal process for eviction in Texas? In the two states in which I own rentals, if he were to change to locks or place her possessions in a box on the front porch, she could have his butt in court and he would learn a very expensive lesson. Both would be an illegal action.
Here she would be considered a renter and has rights that the LL must adhere to or pay the price, but that is why I said to learn exactly what your states eviction process is and follow it closely.

She isn't on the lease. In Texas, they do not have the occupancy law, where mere guests have rights, like California.
It's terrible she is behaving like this. It's insane for her to move in a girl friend with her without his blessing. It's his home! He's going to have to be tough here to ramp down the drama of this situation.
Gather up all her things, put them in boxes and put them on the front porch or outside or bring them over to grandpa's. Hopefully grandpa is cool with her living there and make sure he is aware of the girl friend issue too. Tell the landlord you need the locks changed. Contact the local police and tell them she is being kicked out of the residence, so if they get involved your father has a story. Explain that she is 18 years of age and being verbally abusive towards him.
As for her mail, do a change of address form at the local post office and/or send in a change of address into her employer. If she won't tell you where she is living or you don't know, then write "return to sender, no longer at this address" on the postal mail and drop it back in the postal mail. The employer will figure it out and contact her since she works there.
He could consider going with her to professional counseling, but if she isn't agreeable to it, then toss her out.
I believe this is illegal ^^regarding the mail. Here the forms are on the counter but it's illegal to fill one out for anyone except yourself, just for the record
