Texas HB79 amends the notice period for certain evictions, requiring landlords to give tenants at least 14 days' notice before filing a forcible.

Texas HB79 modifies the Property Code to extend the notice period for evictions. Specifically, it mandates that landlords provide tenants at least 14 days' written notice to vacate before filing a forcible detainer suit, unless a shorter or longer period is specified in a written lease or agreement. This change applies to tenants at will or by sufferance. Additionally, if a building is sold through a tax or trustee's foreclosure sale, the new owner must give residential tenants at least 30 days' notice if they choose not to continue the lease.
