Eviction Notices in Andrews: Notice to Vacate and the Justice Court Case
Before an Andrews landlord asks the court for anything, the tenant must hold a written notice to vacate. Three days is the floor, though a lease or agreement may set a shorter or longer period. Accepted delivery is mail, a conspicuous spot inside the premises, hand delivery to a tenant 16 or older, or electronic communication agreed in writing. The count includes weekends and holidays, and a deadline falling on one is moved to the next business day. A sworn petition follows in justice court. A private server may deliver the notice but not the eviction citation, which a sheriff or constable must serve, and an alias citation is available after 5 business days.
