Eviction Notices in Floresville: Notice to Vacate and the Justice Court Case
Think of the notice to vacate as the entry ticket to court. It is written, it gives the tenant at least three days unless a lease sets something different, and it reaches the tenant by mail, hand delivery to someone 16 or older, placement inside the unit, or email by written agreement. All days are counted, including weekends and holidays, with a last day on one moving ahead. The landlord then files a sworn petition in justice court, and the sheriff or a constable delivers the citation.

The Rule 106(b) guide outlines the process. A company can be reached through its registered agent. The plaintiff waits ten days after filing the return before seeking default.
