Legal question about a motorcycle/property?

Im in Texas. I recently was offered and given a non operational motorcycle from a tenant (personally owned the bike) who was evicted due to back rent. I didnt know his situation at the time and the bike is now in my posession. The landlord of that property saw the bike in my garage and approached me claiming it was his due to a property lien. Is this plausible? Could he actually file a lien on another persons property and should i have to give him the motorcycle back? He also claims im holding stolen property (the motorcycle) because the tenant who gave me the bike was not supposed to be on the property at that time and was breaking and entering. Am i liable for any of this? Without knowing this guys situation i moved the bike to my garage from his driveway (i live 2 houses down). I talked to a Police Officer who claimed he had no legal action against me, but im trying to find out to ease my mind about all this because im about to trade it for another motorcycle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Will definately pick a best answer. NEED a professional on this one.

He might be bluffing!
If he didn't have the court papers at the monent of you getting the bike then he has no legal right over the property. It's too late for him.

Now if he has a court order dated before you got the bike then he might have a valid argument.

But to avoid complication hide the bike somewhere else until this is solved just in case he might try to steal it.

And keep your mouth shut until talking to a lawyer just in case he might decide to go to court.

Unless he hit you with a court order you are free to do whatever you want with that bike. His world alone has no legal value.

If I were you I would trade or sell it as fast as possible; then the landlord would have a lot of trouble to prove his claim BUT that's just me.
