Travis County allows no-fault, end-of-lease non-renewal under Texas Property Code Chapter 24. Landlords need only provide proper notice; no just-cause requirement applies, and county authority over evictions is preempted by state law.
Under Texas Property Code Section 91.001, a landlord may terminate a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days written notice without stating cause. Fixed-term leases simply expire at the end of the term unless renewed. Travis County, like all Texas counties, lacks authority to impose just-cause eviction restrictions on private landlords; HB 1869 and broader state preemption confine county rental regulation to narrow code-enforcement contexts. Eviction proceedings occur in justice court under Property Code Chapter 24, with tenants entitled to a hearing before any writ of possession issues.
Improperly noticed terminations are dismissed in justice court; landlords self-help locking out a tenant face Texas Property Code 92.0081 penalties up to one month rent plus 1000 dollars.
