Tenant Breach Contract Advice

Summary

If a tenant breaches a rent-to-own contract in Texas, you may keep the deposit and seek legal action. Written contracts are enforceable, and you can file a lawsuit in the El Paso Justice Court. An LLC does not make the tenant immune to lawsuits. For spousal support issues, contact the El Paso Bar Associations Lawyer Referral Service at (915) 546-2328 for potential reduced fee or contingency-based legal assistance.
