Every minute he's there increases the chances that he'll be killed.
I have counseled him to leave. I like the idea of showing up with a DEA shirt or jacket on.
Update:
The apartment complex gave the bad guy an eviction notice and he confronted my DS. They stood in front of his door and berated him for calling the apartment manager. A neighbor was worried and called the cops. The cops came out and talked to they guy. The cops gave him the option of pressing charges but counseled him he would have to live next to the for the next 30 days. He didn't press changes and the cops talked to the guy and told him to leave DS alone. Ironically the cop smelled weed in the dealers apartment. It amazes me they can't do anything about a known drug dealer.
So you're wanting him dead sooner than later? Only a fool would do something so stupid. And as someone else said you're in Texas and these dealers are tied in tight with the big cartels and they kill for pleasure! Don't let your kid be part of their pleasure. Get in your car, go get him, and bring him home tonight. Tomorrow you can sort out the rest of the crap that's going on in his life, that's what a good parent does!!!
When I was pregnant in 1096 my husband and I were just starting out.
He needs to leave TODAY, before nightfall, and take any high-value property with him.

Unfortunately I am four and a half hours away so I can't just drop by.
I hope he can and will leave. I've been trying to get him to move down this way but Austin is so expensive but he could live in an outlying area that would be cheaper.
Thanks for all the comments and concerns
This must be very scary for you. Please encourage him to move in with his mom for the next month. Tell him you love him and do not want to have to go to his funeral even though he did nothing wrong and that he had to be inconvenienced. He needs to break the lease. Not to be mean, but yeah, get rid of the motorcycle. Your mom is right.

I know you mean well but calling me a fool and stupid does not really help. My son is an adult, 30 now and as such I can provide advise but I can not make him do anything. I actually suggested the he get in his car and come down so there would be no reason for me to go get him. That is why I was soliciting ideas from the board on what all the options are.
While he knows his life is at risk he has two jobs is not willing to leave them to live with or near me on the hopes of getting a job. I taught him to be responsible, maybe too much so as he is not willing to go into debt. He is also stubborn saying he did not do anything wrong so why should he have to change his life because of these ghetto thugs. Again I explained that principles were not worth much if you were not alive to exhibit them.
I was looking for helpful ideas and quite a few were provided, not to be told I am not a good parent. How many people can make their adult children do what they tell them to do, even if it is a good idea.
Eta: my mom almost daily tells me to get rid of my motorcycle. I'm 63. Should she come over and spank me for not doing what she said because the motorcycle could kill me?
Yes I am worried and to suggest otherwise is very callous. That is why I came to my board family for ideas. I gave him advise. I offered shelter and help. I pray that nothing happens.

I was referring to the to the suggestion of wearing a DEA jacket, that sort of stunt would end up in the immediate death of your son.
Apparently many here do not understand the mentality of the drug dealer/lord types, they are soulless creatures who get off on inflicting pain and suffering onto others.
FWIW, I vote that you get yet another motorcycle! Tell your mom to get one, too ;-)
Best regards
Doc
I was the one suggesting he wear a DEA windbreaker and of course I wasn't really serious about it. The son needs to move out ASAP.
