Helping You Navigate Evictions
Navigating the eviction process can be stressful for landlords and property managers. In Houston, Texas, you’re dealing with complex laws like the Texas Property Code Chapter 24, which regulates eviction procedures. Our law firm guides you through these intricacies, providing actionable guidance.
We also offer mediation services as a way to resolve landlord-tenant disputes without going to court. Mediation can often lead to quicker, less contentious resolutions, saving you time and money. Our aim is to make the eviction process as smooth, efficient, and legally compliant as possible.
Legal Steps to Eviction
Eviction in Texas requires following strict legal protocols. You start with serving the tenant an eviction notice, typically a “Notice to Quit,” as per Texas Property Code Section 24.005. If compliance doesn’t occur, you’ll file a Forcible Entry and Detainer suit under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 510.
Mediation is also an option at this stage, acting as a potential alternative to a full-blown trial. We manage all necessary legal paperwork, court appearances, and trial preparation. Our goal is to streamline the legal aspect so you can focus on your property and investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the legal steps I must follow for eviction in Houston?
In Houston, the eviction process follows Texas state laws, which are primarily outlined in the Texas Property Code Chapter 24. Initially, you must serve your tenant with a “Notice to Quit,” as specified in Section 24.005. This notice must clearly state the reason for eviction and give the tenant an opportunity to remedy the situation. If the tenant fails to comply, the next step involves filing a Forcible Entry and Detainer lawsuit under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 510. This initiates the formal eviction process.
Can mediation help me avoid going to trial?
Yes, mediation can often serve as an effective alternative to a trial. It is a less adversarial and often quicker way to resolve landlord-tenant disputes. Mediation involves a neutral third party facilitating discussions between you and the tenant to reach an agreeable solution. This approach could save both time and legal fees.
