Texas Supreme Court issued the following announcement on Dec. 29.
In an emergency order posted Tuesday, the Texas Supreme Court extended deadlines for eviction procedures for tenants and landlords under the federal stimulus passed by Congress that to reflect its continuation of a CARES Act section and eviction protections issued in September by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Protection.
The revised order, the 32nd the Court has issued to answer issues prompted by the coronavirus pandemic, is effective January 1 and expires January 31, acknowledging deadlines in the newly enacted federal stimulus bill.
The order renews a requirement that landlords give a tenant behind on rent 30 days’ notice to vacate and the tenant to follow CDC requirements by declaring the rental property a “covered” under the CARES Act and provides that justice courts abate an eviction under certain provisions. The order continues means for a landlord to contest such an abatement.
