Landlord Eviction Process Halted

Summary

In Texas, landlords must follow strict procedures to evict tenants, including providing written notice, filing a suit, obtaining a court order, and getting a writ of possession. If the writ is withdrawn, eviction is halted. If a constable informed you after the 24-hour period that you could stay and you were evicted the next day, there may be a violation.
