Texas evictions: $999 flat attorney fee. A real attorney, not an agent service.

Notice, filing, citation, trial representation, and the writ — handled and signed by a licensed Texas attorney, filed under the new statewide eviction rules effective January 2026. Court costs are set by your county and itemized before you pay; many low-cost Texas eviction services are not law firms and never put an attorney on your case. We are, and we do.

What to expect in Texas

Uniform statewide procedure

Texas rewrote eviction procedure effective Jan 1, 2026 (SB 38 / Rule 510). One rule set, all 254 counties, no local surprises.

Fast timelines

Trial is set 10–21 days after filing; typical uncontested cases run three to five weeks from notice to writ. Courts control the calendar; timelines vary.

First-delinquency rule

Since 2026, a first missed payment requires a pay-rent-or-vacate notice. Our engine tracks this automatically — a common DIY mistake.

E-filed same day

We file through eFileTexas the same business day your case clears attorney review.
