What to do if I have a guest in my house that I’ve allowed to stay here for the last 3 months who I now want out?

Well last week I had told this person that they will have to be out by January 20th. I wrote this in a text message. Things have gotten strained in the house, and during an argument I told her she has until the end of the week. That part was verbal. She does not pay any bills or rent money for staying here, although I did allow her to get mail sent to my house for unemployment. If she does not leave my house in the time frame I have given her what can I do?

I suggest that you should simply serve this "guest" with a written notice to leave by January 20, 2012 and keep a copy of such for future use and need. If such does not occur, you will need to consult with a landlord tenant attorney to serve an eviction lawsuit on this unwanted person. In the meantime, I suggest that you consult with a landlord tenant attorney about your matter.
