Just cause eviction rules in Guadalupe County, TX — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Texas has no just-cause eviction law. A Guadalupe County landlord may end a tenancy without stating a reason. Property Code 24.005 requires only three days' written notice to vacate before filing suit, unless the lease sets a different period.
No statute forces a landlord to prove cause before ending a Texas tenancy. When a lease term ends or a tenant defaults, the landlord serves the notice to vacate required by Section 24.005, then files a forcible detainer suit in the justice-of-the-peace court. Neither the county nor Seguin, Schertz, or Cibolo can add a just-cause standard, relocation payment, or good-cause defense. A tenant's real protection is the process itself: written notice, a court hearing, and a judgment before a constable can remove anyone. Locking a tenant out or cutting utilities is a separate illegal self-help eviction under Property Code 92.0081.
A landlord who locks out a tenant or files eviction without the Section 24.005 notice can have the suit dismissed and faces tenant remedies under Property Code 92.0081 for an unlawful lockout.
