Evictions can be confusing and stressful. This page provides clear, straightforward information about how evictions work in Texas that homeowners should expect and where to find trusted resources for additional guidance.
Texas law requires a written notice to vacate before filing an eviction suit. In most cases, this notice must give the tenant at least three days to leave or cure the lease violation unless the lease states otherwise.
The notice can be served in person, posted on the door, or mailed. If mailed, Texas law may require additional days to allow for delivery before an eviction suit can be filed.
Evictions are filed in the Justice of the Peace Court for the precinct where the rental property is located. The landlord must provide the lease, notice to vacate, and any required documentation with the filing.
The judge hears evidence from both sides. If the tenant doesn’t appear, the court may issue a default judgment. If the judge rules in favor of the landlord, a judgment for possession is issued.
Yes. After the court issues a judgment, there is typically a period (often around five days) during which the tenant can file an appeal or motion to stay the eviction before further action occurs.
If the eviction judgment stands and the appeal period expires, the landlord may request a Writ of Possession from the court. A constable or sheriff executes the writ, giving official legal authority to remove the tenant from the property.
