IMPORTANT NOTICE TO TENANT
This is a formal legal notice. It is the first step in the eviction process and does not by itself terminate your right to possession of the premises — only a court order can do that.
The landlord may not use "self-help" methods such as changing the locks, removing your belongings, or shutting off utilities to force you to leave. Such actions are illegal in every U.S. state.
If you believe this notice was served in error, or if you have a legal defense, you should consult with a licensed attorney or your local tenant rights organization promptly.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
This notice is governed by the landlord-tenant laws of the State of Texas.
This notice does not waive any other rights or remedies available to the landlord under the lease or applicable law.
State-Required Provisions
TEXAS EVICTION NOTICE REQUIREMENTS (Tex. Prop. Code § 24.005): Unless a written lease contract specifies a different notice period, the landlord must give a tenant at least three days' written notice to vacate before filing a forcible detainer suit.
TEXAS PROPERTY CODE § 91.001: A monthly tenancy or a tenancy from month-to-month may be terminated by the tenant or the landlord by giving at least 30 days' written notice of termination to the other party.
