If a Lease Has to End in Court

If rent is not paid or a lease is broken, we follow the lease and the current Texas process. Notices go out in writing. We do not give legal advice on this website, and a form cannot tell you whether a case is ready to file.

Texas eviction procedure changed for suits filed on or after January 1, 2026, including when a notice to pay or vacate is required and what the petition has to say. We keep our notice forms on the current rules. This page is not legal advice, and a web form cannot tell you whether your case is ready to file.

If you already have a resident in default and we do not manage the property, call the office. We will tell you whether we can take the house on or whether you need a lawyer first. Do not post notices because a blog told you to.
