Another week brings yet another change in the world of Texas Landlord/Tenant Law. The effects of the CDC Eviction Moratorium Order are causing massive changes in court procedure.
After the Supreme Court of Texas handed down its 25TH Emergency Order, mandating that all tenants be informed of their rights to submit a CDC Declaration, a flood of such Declarations have made it into Eviction Courts. These Declarations have quickly become the biggest source of Client questions in my office. But change does not stop there. As early as October 12, 2020, the State of Texas will begin rolling out a new plan to help distressed Tenants.
The Texas Eviction Diversion Program is a fund set up to address the growing urgency for Tenants to find secure housing and for Landlords to remain fiscally solvent in the process. What does all of this mean for you? Stay tuned. As updates roll in, I will continue to produce videos in response.
