Texas HB4554 amends eviction procedures, setting trial dates and writ of possession timelines.

Texas HB4554 modifies residential eviction procedures by setting a trial date for eviction suits between the 10th and 21st day after filing. It also changes the timeline for issuing a writ of possession, allowing it immediately upon demand and payment of fees if judgment for possession is granted by default. Additionally, it mandates that a sheriff or constable execute the writ within 10 business days of its issuance. The changes apply only to suits where the notice to vacate is given after the act's effective date. The Texas Supreme Court must adopt necessary rules to implement these changes.
