Texas has no statewide tenant relocation assistance law, and Dallas County has no county-level relocation ordinance. Tenants displaced by no-fault terminations, condemnation, or sale generally receive no county-mandated payment, though the federal Uniform Relocation Act may apply when federal funds are used.
Texas Property Code does not require landlords to pay relocation assistance for owner move-in, substantial rehabilitation, demolition, or end-of-lease nonrenewal. Dallas County has no jurisdiction over private landlord-tenant rent terms in incorporated cities, and the county has not adopted a relocation ordinance for unincorporated areas. The federal Uniform Relocation Assistance Act covers only displacement caused by federally funded acquisition or rehabilitation. Some Dallas County cities such as Dallas adopt their own programs, and tenants in unincorporated portions or smaller suburbs fall back entirely on Texas Property Code Chapter 92 remedies. Nonprofit referrals through Dallas County Health and Human Services may help with emergency moving aid.
Not applicable. Without a county or state relocation statute, no enforcement mechanism exists for tenants seeking moving payments from private Dallas County landlords absent federal URA coverage or a city-specific program.
