Tenant Eviction Notice Requirements

Summary

Landlords in Texas must provide tenants with a written notice to vacate before filing for eviction, typically a 3-day notice for non-payment of rent. If no notice was given, the landlord may not have legal grounds for immediate eviction. Consult a local attorney or legal aid organization for specific advice. Contact the Tarrant County Justice of the Peace Court for more information on eviction procedures in Fort Worth, Texas.
