New Eviction Rules to Take Effect Tomorrow - 8/31/13 Get a copy here

San Antonio Eviction Lawyer - Bexar County Eviction Attorney Trey Wilson wrote:

Effective on Saturday, 8/31/13, a new set of eviction rules formulated by the Texas Supreme Court will become effective. 

The new Rules will apply to all eviction cases filed in Texas on or after 8/31 AND cases pending on 8/31 (unless applying the new Rules would work "injustice").

Prior Texas Rules of Civil Procedure 737-755 have been ABOLISHED, and New Rules 500-507 and especially 510 (the Eviction-specific Rule) will govern all eviction/FE&D cases.

I recently made a presentation to the San Antonio Chapter of the National Association of Residential Property Managers concerning the specifics of the new Rules. I anticipate that the powerpoint presentation I furnished in connection with that presentation will be posted on their site. If and when that happens, I will post a link on this page.

A full copy of the new Texas Rules of Civil Procedure applicable to ALL Justice Court cases (not just evictions) can be found HERE.
