Relating to the confidentiality of residential eviction case information.

HB 1369 would require Texas courts to make residential eviction case records confidential for tenants under specific conditions. This applies when a tenant wins the case, the case is dismissed without relief to the landlord, or the case follows a foreclosure on the property. Courts must issue confidentiality orders automatically in these situations, or upon tenant request after five years, unless public interest outweighs privacy. The bill directly affects residential tenants by protecting their personal information from public disclosure in eviction cases. It modifies Property Code Section 24.012 to limit access to eviction records, allowing disclosure only to courts, parties, or with personal details removed.
