Step-by-Step Process for Texas Evictions
Send a Demand Notice (Optional, but Recommended)
This formally notifies the tenant of past-due rent or lease violations and gives them a chance to resolve the issue.
Issue a Notice to Vacate (Legally Required)
Before filing for eviction, Texas law requires that landlords provide tenants with written notice to vacate. Unless the lease agreement says otherwise, the landlord must give the tenant at least 3 days to move out.
The federal CARES Act requires a 30-day notice in certain evictions where the property participates in certain federal programs, or the property owner has a federally backed mortgage.
File an Eviction Lawsuit (Forcible Entry & Detainer Case)
If the tenant does not leave, you may proceed with filing an eviction lawsuit in Justice Court. The eviction hearing cannot take place for at least 10 days after the petition is filed.
Attend the Court Hearing
If the case goes to court, be prepared to present documentation, including the notices sent to the tenant.
Judgement
Once a judgment has been issued, no further action can take place for 5 days. This time gives the parties the opportunity to appeal.
Appeal (Optional)
If the tenant files an appeal, the hearing cannot take place for at least 8 days.
Obtain a Writ of Possession
If the court rules in your favor and the tenant still refuses to leave, a writ of possession allows law enforcement to remove the tenant. The constable must post a 24-hour notice before "executing the writ" and removing the tenant's property from the rental.
