Is Texas a self help eviction state?

Yes, Texas is a self-help eviction state. This means that landlords are allowed to evict tenants without going through the court system in certain situations. However, there are strict rules and procedures that landlords must follow when evicting tenants through self-help.

For example, landlords must provide tenants with written notice of the termination of their lease at least three days in advance. The notice must specify the date and time when the tenant must vacate the premises. If the tenant does not vacate the premises by the specified date and time, the landlord can then remove the tenant's belongings from the premises and change the locks.

Landlords are not allowed to use self-help eviction in certain situations, such as when the tenant is a member of the military or has a disability. Additionally, landlords must be careful not to engage in any illegal activity during the eviction process, such as threatening or harassing the tenant.

If you are a tenant facing eviction, you should contact an attorney to discuss your rights and options.
