In Texas, there are official steps and rules that must be followed in order to kick someone out of their apartment. Here are the most important parts of Texas eviction process:

Law says that renters can't be forced to leave their homes without a good reason. Legal reasons to kick someone out are:

Tenants who don't pay their rent on time have three days to leave the property if they don't pay their rent. The owner has the right to sue them to get them to leave if they don't within this time.

End of the Lease or No Lease: They have to give one month's notice to move out if they are a "tenant at will" or a "holdover tenant" who stays on the property after the lease is over. If a tenant breaks the terms of their lease, they can be kicked out. If you break the lease, you might do something illegal, have dogs without permission, make other renters unhappy, or not keep the place clean.
