THE TENANT PROBABLY DOESN’T KNOW THAT, FOR THE MOST PART, REPAIR DISPUTES WILL GO NOWHERE IN A TEXAS EVICTION. A REPAIR AND REMEDY CASE IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FORUM, AND THE TENANT HAS EVERY RIGHT TO RAISE A CLAIM AGAINST THEIR LANDLORD IN A REPAIR AND REMEDY LAWSUIT, BUT THESE CLAIMS CANNOT BE RAISED IN AN EVICTION. HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD SHOW UP TO TRIAL PREPARED TO ADDRESS ISSUES HAVING TO DO WITH REPAIRS TOO.
