🤠 Texas Affidavit of Service — Eviction Notice
Sworn Proof of Notice Service — Required for Court Filing
MUST BE NOTARIZED: The Affidavit of Service documents how and when the Notice to Vacate was served on the tenant. This sworn statement is required when filing the eviction petition in Justice Court. It must be signed in front of a notary public. In Texas, the constable typically serves the notice and completes this form, but landlords serving notices themselves need this affidavit.
