Relating to the notice period for certain evictions.

HB 79 shortens the required notice period for most residential evictions in Texas from 14 days to 3 days. It directly affects tenants under written leases or oral rental agreements, requiring landlords to provide at least 3 days' written notice before filing an eviction lawsuit, unless the lease specifies a different period. The bill also maintains a 30-day notice requirement for tenants in properties purchased at foreclosure sales. This change applies only to eviction notices given on or after the bill's effective date, with prior cases governed by the old 14-day rule.
