A statement that legal action (an eviction suit in the Texas Justice or Peace Court) will follow if the tenant fails to comply.
Before your landlord can file an eviction lawsuit against you, they must give you a written notice to vacate. This notice must give you at least three days to move out, unless your lease allows for a shorter time.
