Texas 3 Day Notice to Quit for Noncompliance

Texas Eviction Laws: 3-Day Notice to Quit for Noncompliance

Landlords should be proactive if a Tenant is violating the terms of the Texas Lease Agreement. All Lease terms are in place for a reason. It’s vital that you enforce all Lease terms to ensure your property is protected and create consistency for your Tenants.

Texas law requires that Landlords give Tenants a three-day notice to cure Lease violations before taking legal action against the Tenant. The Tenant must cure the Lease violation(s) within 3 days or hand over possession of the property.

The 3-Day Notice to Quit is a necessary first step in eviction proceedings. If the Tenant does not vacate the property within three days, the Landlord can initiate eviction proceedings - also known as a forcible detainer lawsuit - as permitted by Texas laws.
