Evictions can be confusing and stressful. This page provides clear, straightforward information about how evictions work in Texas that tenants should expect and where to find trusted resources for additional guidance.
No. In Texas, a landlord must first give a written notice to vacate before filing for eviction. This notice usually gives the tenant at least three days to move out or fix a violation unless the lease specifies a different period.
If the tenant doesn’t comply with the written notice within the timeframe provided, the landlord can file an eviction lawsuit (often called a forcible detainer suit) in the local Justice Court. A hearing will be scheduled, typically 10–21 days after filing.
Yes. Once an eviction lawsuit is filed, both the landlord and tenant have the opportunity to attend a court hearing. The tenant may file an answer or defense; if they don’t, a default judgment may be issued.
If a judge rules in favor of the landlord, the court issues a Writ of Possession. This order allows a constable or sheriff to remove the tenant if they don’t move out voluntarily, generally after the judgment and any appeal period are complete.
