Preface

Texas Tenants' Rights Handbook: 2026 Updated Edition is an independently edited educational reference designed to help Texas residential tenants understand common lease, rental, repair, security deposit, eviction, fair housing, and move-out issues.

This edition updates the tenant-rights material with current Texas residential leasing developments, including flood disclosures, security deposit alternatives, late-fee limits, firearm and ammunition lease protections, HOA method-of-payment rules, repair-and-deduct updates, special lease termination rights, unauthorized occupant procedures, and eviction appeal issues.

The handbook is written for educational use only. It is not legal advice and does not replace consultation with a licensed Texas attorney. Readers should verify current statutes, court rules, local procedures, and agency guidance before taking legal action.
