What a writ of possession is, and when it happens in Texas.
If a landlord wins an eviction and the tenant still does not leave, the writ of possession is the court order that allows removal. Texas Property Code Sec. 24.0061 sets the guardrails.
The writ may not issue earlier than the 6th day after the judgment. Before any removal, a written warning is posted at least 24 hours in advance. This is a legal process with steps, not a lockout you do yourself.
We coordinate this stage for you, by the book.
