Eviction Notices in Euless: Notice to Vacate and the Justice Court Case
On suits filed on or after January 1, 2026, the landlord sends a written notice to vacate first. It must allow at least three days unless the lease or agreement says something else, and for unpaid rent it can be a notice to pay or vacate. Permitted delivery includes mail, a conspicuous place inside the premises, hand delivery to a tenant 16 or older, or electronic communication agreed in writing.

A private server can deliver that notice. The suit's citation can be served only by a sheriff or constable, and an alias citation can be requested after 5 business days from filing without service.
