Eviction Notices in Trophy Club: Notice to Vacate and the Justice Court Case
A Trophy Club landlord's notice to vacate has four requirements. It is in writing. It allows the tenant three days at a minimum, unless the lease or agreement provides a different period. It is delivered by mail, by a conspicuous placement inside the premises, by hand to a tenant 16 or older, or electronically if agreed in writing. And it is counted with weekends and holidays included, though a last day on one moves to the next business day. When the notice period has ended, the landlord's sworn petition goes to justice court. A private process server can deliver the notice but not the eviction citation, which only a sheriff or constable may serve, and an alias citation is possible after 5 business days.
