What Texas law says

Lease Agreements

Texas Property Code Chapter 92 sets no statutory cap on security deposits and requires landlords to return deposits within 30 days with itemized deductions. There is no statewide rent control.

Eviction Notices

Texas requires a 3-day notice to vacate before an eviction suit can be filed. Self-help eviction (changing locks, removing belongings) is illegal — evictions must go through Justice Court.

LLC Formation

Texas has no state income tax, but LLCs must file an annual Public Information Report and may owe franchise tax based on revenue above the no-tax-due threshold.

Wills & Estates

Texas is a community property state and allows both attested (witnessed) and holographic (handwritten) wills — a flexibility not offered in most other states.

Laws change frequently, so always consult a licensed local attorney before executing a legal document.
