Texas Property Code Guides

Let's talk
Landlord-Tenant Topics

Texas landlord-tenant law is built on a handful of Property Code chapters, and knowing which one applies to your situation saves time and mistakes. Chapter 92 governs residential tenancies and covers most of what a landlord deals with day to day. Chapter 93 governs commercial leases, where the rules shift in landlords’ favor. Chapter 94 covers manufactured home community tenancies, a separate framework with its own notice and eviction requirements. Each guide below breaks down the statute in plain English, with citations, so you can see exactly what the law requires before a dispute turns into litigation.
