Eviction Services for Houston Landlords

Evictions are stressful, time-consuming, and expensive when handled incorrectly. In Texas, the eviction process has strict procedural requirements — miss a step and you could face delays, dismissed cases, or legal liability. Stagecoach Management handles the entire eviction process for Houston property owners, from the first notice through final possession.

The Texas Eviction Process

Texas eviction law (Chapter 24 of the Texas Property Code) requires landlords to follow a specific legal process:

Notice to vacate — We serve the proper written notice (typically 3 days for non-payment) with the legally required language and delivery method.
Filing the eviction suit — We coordinate with your attorney or our legal contacts to file the Forcible Entry and Detainer suit at the appropriate Justice of the Peace court.
Court hearing — We document the case and coordinate the hearing process.
Writ of possession — If the tenant doesn’t appeal, we coordinate execution of the writ to restore your possession of the property.

Prevention Is Better Than Eviction

The best eviction is the one that never happens. Our thorough tenant screening process dramatically reduces the likelihood of problem tenants. When issues do arise, our clear lease terms and consistent enforcement give us stronger standing to resolve them — often before legal action becomes necessary.

What Eviction Really Costs

The average Houston eviction costs landlords $3,500–$7,000 in lost rent, legal fees, and turnover. Our screening and lease management services are investments in avoiding that outcome.
