Texas HB2223 aims to protect the confidentiality of eviction case information.

HB2223 amends the Texas Property Code to add a new section on confidential eviction case information. It prohibits consumer reporting agencies and others from disclosing eviction case information or using it in tenant screening reports, except as allowed by federal law. Courts must protect eviction case information if a judgment favors the defendant, the case is dismissed without relief for the plaintiff, or the defendant is a tenant not in default and the eviction is by a foreclosure successor. Violators are liable for actual damages, attorney's fees, and court costs.
