FAQ
All civil cases filed in JP Courts now fall under Justice Court. The rules of Texas Rules of Civil Procedure Part V, Rule 500 through 510 govern these cases. There are four (4) types of civil cases that can be filed in Justice Court: Evictions, Small Claims, Debt Claims, and Repair and Remedy.
Timeframes in the Eviction Process Step 1: Written Notice to Vacate. Unless the lease agreement says otherwise, the landlord must give the tenant at least 3 days to move out. Step 2: Filing of Eviction Suit. Step 3: Judgment. Step 4 (optional): Appeal. Step 5: Writ of Possession.
The Writ of Possession allows for the possession of the property, after a deputy has posted written notice notifying the tenant a writ has been issued. By law, we are required to give a minimum of 24 hours notice before enforcing the writ.
The hearing may be held in a courtroom, or, sometimes, in an office. The landlord must be present for the case to proceed. The tenant is not required by law to appear, but should if they want to present evidence, argue the case, or even just ask for more time to move.
To file an eviction, please contact a Justice of the Peace office. The Justice of the Peace hours of operation are Monday through Friday from am to pm. Evictions must be filed in the precinct of the occupied property. Confirm Precinct location here.
The notice will usually contain a stated reason for the eviction, a delivery date and a notice when to vacate the property - usually in 3 days. You do not have to leave the property by the date indicated.
Eviction Cases must be filed in the Justice Court in the Justice of the Peace Precinct in the county in which the real property is located. See Section 24.004, Texas Property Code.
The Justice Courts also have jurisdiction of cases of forcible entry and detainer, or evictions. Justice Courts do not have jurisdiction of suits for divorce, suits to recover damages for slander or defamation, suits for title to land, or suits to enforce a lien on land. See Sec. 27.031, Texas Government Code.
