A Texas 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit is used when rent has not been paid and a landlord needs to issue a written demand before pursuing eviction. This notice sets out the total rent due and informs the tenant that payment must be made within the required timeframe or possession of the rental property may be required.
Under Texas law, tenants are typically given at least three (3) days after service of the notice to pay the rent due or vacate the premises, unless the Lease Agreement specifies a different notice period. If payment is not received within that period, the landlord may proceed with filing an eviction action.
This notice is arranged for straightforward completion, with clearly defined sections for identifying the tenant names, property address, rental period, and total rent owed, along with space to provide payment details and document how the notice was delivered.
This form includes:
- Rent demand section identifying the rental period and total balance due
- Space for payment instructions and delivery details
- A 3-day statutory notice period commonly used for Texas nonpayment notices
- Signature lines for the landlord or authorized agent
- Certificate of Service section documenting the method of delivery
