Texas HB577 amends the notice period for certain evictions, affecting tenants under written leases, oral rental agreements, and those at will or by.

Texas HB577 amends the Property Code to change the notice period for evictions. For tenants under a written lease or oral rental agreement, landlords must provide at least 14 days' written notice before filing a forcible detainer suit, unless a different period is specified in the lease or agreement. Tenants at will or by sufferance must also receive at least 14 days' notice. If a building is sold at a foreclosure sale, the new owner must give residential tenants at least 30 days' notice if they choose not to continue the lease.
