As of January 2026, Texas Justice Courts now focus almost exclusively on the right to possession. This means tenants can no longer stall an eviction by bringing up unrelated counterclaims, like property damage or title disputes, in the same hearing. Those must be filed separately. This change is a major win for landlords looking for a focused, speedy resolution. Girling Law Firm, PLLC fights to keep your case moving forward.

A key update in the 2026 Texas Property Code is a new protection for tenants: if a tenant is late on rent for the very first time during their lease, landlords must now provide a "notice to pay or vacate" rather than a straight notice to vacate. This gives the tenant a 5-day window to cure the default. Don’t let a procedural slip-up get your case dismissed. Girling Law Firm, PLLC ensures your notices meet every new legal requirement.

Starting this year, Texas landlords can officially deliver a Notice to Vacate electronically (email or portal) if the tenant agreed to it in writing in the lease. This modernizes the process and reduces the "he-said-she-said" of physical postings. Check your 2026 lease agreements to ensure they include the proper electronic notice consent clauses. Girling Law Firm, PLLC can help you update your documents to match these new standards.

Texas law changed on January 1, 2026, making it significantly faster to remove unauthorized occupants who never had a lease. Under SB 38, courts can now use a "summary disposition" to issue a judgment in as little as five days if the facts aren't in dispute. If you're dealing with a trespasser, the legal path is now shorter than ever. Girling Law Firm, PLLC helps landlords navigate this new "rocket docket" to reclaim their property.
