What Property Owners Must Know About Eviction in Texas

Below are critical things to know about eviction in Texas. Have questions? Contact our firm for personalized guidance on your specific concerns and needs.

Notice requirements – According to Texas law, property owners must deliver proper written notice before filing an eviction. Typically, this notice needs to provide tenants with three days to move out.
Prohibited “self-help” evictions – Landlords cannot change locks, remove tenant belongings, or otherwise force tenants out without court orders. Violations can be costly.
Timeline constraints – Texas eviction proceedings move quickly. Trials typically occur within 10 to 21 days of filing, and appeals must be filed immediately with proper bonds posted.
Writ of possession – After winning in court, landlords must obtain and properly execute a writ of possession through the constable to legally remove tenants and their belongings.
Security deposit rules – The Texas Property Code governs how security deposits must be handled, with specific itemization and refund requirements that can impact eviction disputes.
Fair housing compliance – All evictions must comply with federal and Texas fair housing laws prohibiting discrimination based on protected characteristics.
