To file an eviction notice in the state of Texas, the most important thing to keep in mind is that the document must contain the reasons for the eviction. This type of notice may also contain some additional claims for the violations committed. However, if the violations are not following the claims, the document may be denied. If the tenant fails to comply or refuses to vacate, you may need to file an eviction lawsuit (known as a forcible entry and detainer suit) in the Justice of the Peace (JP) court
Depending on the type of eviction being served, in Texas the number of days to comply with the requirements will depend on the type of eviction being served:
Late payment of rent: 3 days
Failure to comply with any clause: 3 days
Termination of the lease: 30 days.
However, if a longer period is stipulated in the lease, such time must be used for the eviction notice.
