Our Eviction Attorneys handle all forms of focible detainer (eviction) representation, from the Justice of the Peace to the Texas Supreme Court. We also represent Texas landlords when tenants file bankruptcy or attempt to sue their landlords. Are there significant damages to your Texas rental property or is your tenant's past, unpaid rent just too much to justify letting him walk away without consequences? Our Landlord-Tenant lawyers are experts in suing problem tenants. For Texas Landlords who have developed a sizable portfolio of rental properties, our Real Estate Attorneys can construct "property shelters" designed to segment liability for each of your rental property assents and provide you anonymity (keeping you from being named individually as a Plaintiff).

Finally, our firm is happy to offer you high quality, written lease agreements engineered by our Eviction Attonreys to provide Texas landlords as many protections as Texas real estate law allows. We do not represent tenants.. Girling Law has two offices: Plano, TX and North Richland Hills, TX. This enables us to easily handle cases in Tarrant, Dallas, Collin, Denton, Rockwall, and all adjacent counties. Consultations for landlords are always free. We understand that problem tenants often cause our Texas landlord clients to suffer significant financial losses by the time the need to hire an attorney arises. While we cannot go as far as bearing the risk of your Texas investment properties, our firm is always happy to work with you on a retainer payment plan that can help soften the blow from your diminishing cash flows.

Recent Q&As in Texas (Landlord Tenant)

My landlord says I owe money for damage I didn’t cause | Aug 18, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
I moved out of my apartment about a month ago and just received a letter from my landlord saying I owe several hundred dollars for “damage” to the property. The problem is that I took photos and videos of the apartment on the day I moved out, and the things they listed were already there when I moved in. I also have the original move-in inspection report, although I’m not sure if it specifically mentions every issue. I contacted the landlord asking them to explain the charges, but they haven’t provided any photos or other evidence. What would be the best way to handle this? Should I send them my move-out photos and inspection report now, or wait until they provide evidence of the damage? Location: Austin, Texas.
Need help!! Landlord/tenant | Aug 18, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Hello! Location: Texas I’m having issues with my apartment complex not fixing my inadequate AC unit. I am in Texas, so it is very HOT here. My thermostat says 75-80 throughout the day, when I have it set at 68-70 at times. We got maintenance to give us a window unit, but the property managers will not have the AC unit fixed! It does not effectively or efficiently cool my apartment. Additionally, they said they would order a part (after not even inspecting it), and then apparently they said they aren’t doing that anymore!! Today, they notified me that they were in my apartment and cleaned the external coils as well as adding Freon coolant (but the AC unit did not look wet or tampered with). The upstairs in my place reaches 95-100°F. But the managers say only the thermostat numbers matter… they haven’t even attempted to internally fix it because they just say that it works fine. They said we should purchase a window unit ourselves. I don’t think this is right considering they can’t provide comfortable conditions. I also have screenshots and I record evidence of temperatures and things they say. Can I do anything to legally break the lease?
How can I verify the month-to-month rent amount and terminate my lease appropriately with new management? | Aug 13, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Texas I am a tenant, and the ownership and management of my apartment complex changed since I signed my lease agreement. I'm moving out at the lease end date, but failed to submit the 60-day notice to vacate (no excuse; stupidity, simple as that), triggering a month-to-month lease requirement. The new management claims I must pay a month-to-month rent amount, but I haven't received any written details about this rate, which differs from my original lease agreement that does indicate converting to a month-to-month basis upon failure to promptly provide notice to vacate, but does not specify an amount. My interactions with the new management have only been verbal, and they've confirmed I owe $2649 (because I will submitting a notice to vacate upon the start of the month-to-month so will only be paying the minimum required $2649 one-month amount). How should I effectively communicate in writing with the management to verify the correct payment amount, ensure payment of only what is legitimately owed, and terminate my lease appropriately? Would email conversations where management confirms an amount which I pay suffice as satisfying my contractual obligation and debts to them? If management fails to provide evidence that they've ever provided me written notice of this amount previously, am I still obligated to pay them their demanded amount, or something else? Term. Subject to the provisions of this Lease, the initial term of this Lease shall commence on the Start Date and end on the End Date. Provided, however, unless…
Refused Entry by Roommate | Aug 13, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Denton, TX Hello! I just had an unpleasant situation with my move-in and I wanted to get some legal clarification. I was moving into a place today in the state of Texas whose lease began at the start of this month, as I didn't move to the city in question until today. I mistakenly forgot to arrange a meeting time with the landlord to pick up the keys until my flight landed, which I admit was completely my fault, and now I'm waiting to meet with him a few hours from now. The thing is, the roommate who answered my initial knock at the door refused me entry (in 99 degree heat), even after I offered to show him our landlord's contact on my phone, our other roommate's contact on my phone, and the signed lease on my computer + my ID. Now, I totally understand his weariness at a stranger showing up at the door, but I just wanted to confirm whether or not he actually had a legal right to do this, given that I would assume my access is guaranteed by the lease rather than the keys. For clarification, we are not co-tenants, but rather several of us each have separate leases for individual rooms within the same shared house. I'm not actually interested in taking any legal action since that would be silly, but if he didn't have a legal right to do this, I do want to inform him of that. Am I in…
Did not submit 60 days' notice to vacate - given what my leasing agreement states, what are my financial responsibilities? | Aug 11, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Texas I'll get straight to the point about the context: I completely neglected to submit 60 days' notice to vacate to my apartment complex (I have now, but a week before the end of my lease). Yes, it was stupid, and completely on me. I am not asking to avoid the contractual/financial ramifications of that—that would be irresponsible besides illegal—only for advice on how to avoid getting penalized more than what is legally/contractually dictated. The situation is as follows: Lease agreement stipulates that I needed to have submitted my notice to vacate at the latest on 6/16 (60 days before end of term). I only submitted it on 8/8. Originally, the leasing office claimed that, due to this, I will need to, in addition to the full month of August's rent at monthly rate $X (which I already paid on 8/1; rather than prorated to just be 8/1 to 8/16), pay the full month of September plus a prorated 8 days of October (i.e., to 10/8), both at an elevated month-to-month rate $Y. However, I read my lease agreement and on the Term section, it states the following verbatim: Term. Subject to the provisions of this Lease, the initial term of this Lease shall commence on the Start Date and end on the End Date. Provided, however, unless prohibited by applicable law, a 60 day written notice is required by either party to terminate this Lease at its stated End Date. To the extent allowed by applicable law, if…
