    Good Morning,

    Unfortunately, we come very close to beginning the eviction process this month with a tenant.  I've read up on the Texas Property Code Article 24.005 and local eviction process at the Peace Precinct in the county where the property is located but I could use further assistance with the details. It would be very helpful to have a class on the the eviction process to include do's and don'ts, a sample Texas compliant 3 day notice to vacate letter, details on serving, etc.

    Sincerely,

    Rhoda Hale

    Until they do have a class you might want to look at www.mrlandlord.com. They have great info on the eviction process.

    I just had an adverse tenant file an appeal bond after I was granted an eviction. It would be nice for any training class to cover that situation too.

    Thank you,

    Neil,

    This is, sadly, all too common.  However, after winning your eviction case in court, if I recall correctly, I believe you can avoid this in the future by getting your writ of possession very quickly after leaving the courtroom BEFORE the tenant is able to get the appeal filed.  I'm not an attorney, but I've seen this movie before.

    Thanks,

    Robin

    The court will not accept a request for a Writ until the legally mandated 5 days to appeal expires so I don't see how someone could do that.

    Thanks,
