Just cause eviction rules in Converse, TX — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Converse does not require just cause for eviction. Texas Property Code Chapter 24 governs evictions, and landlords may end month-to-month tenancies without stating a reason, with proper notice.
Converse follows Texas state law on evictions with no local just cause ordinance. Under Texas Property Code Chapter 24, landlords may file forcible detainer suits after giving the required written notice to vacate. For month-to-month tenancies, Texas Property Code 91.001 requires at least one month written notice. For lease violations, three day notice to vacate is standard unless the lease specifies otherwise. Texas is considered a landlord-friendly state and does not impose just cause requirements like California or Oregon. Self-help evictions (changing locks, shutting off utilities, removing doors) are prohibited under Texas Property Code 92.0081. Tenants facing eviction should appear at Justice Court hearings in Bexar County Precinct 4 to contest the eviction.
