Texas has no statewide tenant relocation assistance law, and Harris County has not adopted a relocation ordinance. Tenants displaced by no-fault terminations, condemnation, sale, or rehabilitation generally receive no county-mandated payment, although the federal Uniform Relocation Act may apply when federal funds are involved.
Texas Property Code does not require Harris County landlords to pay relocation assistance for owner move-in, demolition, substantial rehabilitation, or end-of-lease nonrenewal. Harris County has no jurisdiction over private rent terms in incorporated cities such as Houston, Pasadena, Baytown, Pearland, Sugar Land, or La Porte, and the Commissioners Court has not adopted a relocation rule for unincorporated areas. The federal Uniform Relocation Assistance Act covers only displacement caused by federally funded acquisition or rehabilitation projects. Tenants in unincorporated Harris County or smaller suburbs fall back entirely on Texas Property Code Chapter 92 remedies. Harris County Community Services Department offers limited emergency rental aid referrals.
Not applicable. Without a county or state relocation statute, no enforcement mechanism exists for tenants seeking moving payments from private Harris County landlords absent federal URA coverage tied to specific federally funded displacement.
