Notice to Vacate

Texas law requires a written notice to vacate before filing an eviction suit. We prepare and deliver legally compliant notices for nonpayment, lease violations, and holdover situations under Texas Property Code Section 24.005.

Court Hearing

Texas law allows a landlord's authorized agent to represent them in JP court eviction hearings. We appear on your behalf, present evidence, and advocate for your case. If you win, we guide you through the post-judgment process.

Writ of Possession

After winning an eviction judgment, the writ of possession is the legal order that authorizes the constable to physically remove the tenant from the property. We handle the writ request, constable coordination, and property turnover process.
