Texas Eviction Laws: 3-Day Notice to Quit for Non-Payment
Landlords should be proactive if a Tenant is behind on rent beyond any applicable grace periods. Texas law requires that Landlords give Tenants a three-day notice to vacate before taking legal action against the Tenant.
Note: if your Texas Lease Agreement provides for a shorter or longer notice period, you should use the period from your Lease in your Notice to Quit.
Landlords do not have to give the Tenant the option to pay rent to avoid eviction but may give the Tenant the option to pay outstanding rent to avoid having to vacate the property.
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.
