Texas Property Code Compliant

Our Services

End-to-end eviction services for landlords and property managers across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Every step handled. Every filing correct. Every deadline met.

Step 1

Notice Preparation & Service

Legally compliant notices drafted and delivered per Texas Property Code

Before an eviction can be filed in Texas, the landlord must serve the tenant with a proper written notice. The type and duration of notice required depends on the reason for eviction and the terms of the lease. We draft and deliver all required notices in strict compliance with Texas Property Code Chapter 24, including:
  • 3-Day Notice to Vacate for non-payment of rent
  • Notice to Vacate for lease violations (cure or quit)
  • Month-to-month tenancy termination notices
  • Notices for holdover tenants after lease expiration
  • Proper delivery via certified mail, personal service, or posting per statute
Compliance Note

Texas Property Code § 24.005 governs notice requirements. Defective notice is the most common reason eviction cases are dismissed. Our notices are drafted to withstand judicial scrutiny.

Step 2

Court Filing & Representation

We file, appear, and argue — you stay home

After the notice period expires without the tenant vacating, we file the eviction petition (Petition for Eviction) with the appropriate Justice of the Peace court in the correct precinct for your property's location. Texas law (Texas Property Code § 24.011) allows property managers and authorized agents to represent landlords in eviction proceedings. You are not required to appear.
  • Petition for Eviction filed in the correct JP precinct
  • Service of citation coordinated with constable
  • Full representation at the eviction hearing
  • Post-judgment documentation and default judgment handling
  • Appeal preparation if tenant contests (additional fees apply)
Compliance Note

We operate in all Justice of the Peace precincts across Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, and Denton counties. Each precinct has unique filing requirements — we know them all.

Writ of Possession

Post-judgment writ filing and constable coordination ($349 add-on)

After a judgment for possession is entered, if the tenant does not vacate within the statutory period, the landlord may request a Writ of Possession. The constable posts a 24-hour notice on the door, then returns on the scheduled date to supervise the move-out. Important: the constable supervises — they do not move belongings or change locks. The landlord is responsible for: (1) a moving crew or hired movers to move the tenant's belongings to the property line, (2) a licensed locksmith to re-key all exterior locks, and (3) any necessary supplies such as trash bags, boxes, or PPE. We coordinate the scheduling and logistics with the constable's office.
  • Writ of Possession application filed with the court
  • Constable scheduling and coordination
  • Compliance with all statutory waiting periods (Tex. Prop. Code § 24.0061)
  • Documentation of writ execution
  • Guidance on handling tenant property left behind per Texas law
Compliance Note

Texas Property Code § 24.0061 governs writ execution. The constable supervises while the landlord's moving crew places belongings at the property line and the landlord's locksmith re-keys the locks. The landlord is also responsible for any supplies required (trash bags, boxes, PPE, etc.). Landlords cannot change locks or remove belongings without a valid writ — doing so creates significant legal liability.

Squatter Eviction

Unauthorized occupants with no lease agreement — including SB1333 expedited removal

Squatter cases — individuals occupying property without any lease, permission, or legal right — require a different approach than standard tenant evictions. Texas law still requires proper notice and a court order before removal, but Senate Bill 1333 (effective September 2023) created an expedited pathway that can significantly compress the timeline for qualifying cases. Under SB1333, if the property owner can demonstrate that the occupant entered unlawfully, has no lease, and has no legal right to be on the property, the constable can initiate an investigation and — if the investigation confirms unlawful entry — contact the landlord directly to schedule writ execution immediately, bypassing the standard post-judgment waiting period. This can save weeks compared to the traditional eviction track.
  • Case assessment and SB1333 eligibility determination
  • Proof of ownership documentation preparation (deed, tax records, title)
  • Precinct-specific affidavit preparation — each constable precinct requires its own form
  • Constable investigation coordination and follow-up
  • Standard eviction filing as parallel or fallback track if SB1333 investigation does not result in immediate removal
  • Full representation through writ execution
Compliance Note

SB1333 applies only to unlawful entry cases — occupants who entered without permission, have no lease (written or verbal), and have no legal right to be on the property. It does not apply to tenants with expired leases or holdover situations. Self-help eviction (changing locks, removing belongings, shutting off utilities) without a court order remains illegal regardless of occupant status.

SB1333 Expedited Removal

Texas Senate Bill 1333 enables property owners to bypass the standard eviction timeline for confirmed squatter cases. We prepare the required proof of ownership and the constable-precinct-specific affidavit, initiate the constable investigation, and coordinate immediate writ scheduling if the investigation confirms unlawful entry.

Proof of ownership (deed, title, or tax records)
Precinct-specific affidavit (varies by constable office)
Constable investigation coordination
Immediate writ scheduling upon confirmed unlawful entry

Credit Bureau Reporting

Report unpaid rent and property damage to strengthen recovery

After a tenant vacates — whether voluntarily or by court order — landlords may be entitled to report eligible unpaid debts to credit bureaus. This creates a record that follows the former tenant and can incentivize payment of outstanding balances. This service is available as a standalone add-on or as part of a completed eviction case.
  • Eligibility review for reportable debts
  • Documentation of unpaid rent and property damage
  • Submission to applicable credit reporting agencies
  • Compliance with Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requirements
Compliance Note

Credit reporting is governed by the FCRA and applicable state law. Only eligible, documented debts may be reported. We ensure all submissions are accurate and compliant.
