Written notice requiring vacation of rental premises in Texas
A Texas 3-Day Notice to Vacate — Texas is a written notice requiring a tenant to vacate the rental premises. This notice establishes the tenant’s obligation to vacate by a specific date and creates a paper trail for any subsequent eviction proceedings.
Texas Law: Texas Property Code § 24.005 requires a minimum 3-day written notice to vacate before filing for forcible detainer (eviction). The notice must specify the reason for termination. Texas allows longer notice periods if specified in the lease. The notice can be for non-payment, lease violation, or end of tenancy.
