My landlord gave me an eviction notice. What happens next? What are my rights?

State law governs eviction proceedings: chapter 24 of the Property Code. The websites of some nonprofit tenants' rights organizations provide an explanation of the eviction procedures that must be followed: the Texas Tenant Advisor and the Austin Tenants' Council. And you can find links to more resources on our landlord/tenant law research guide. If you need advice, it would be best to consult with an attorney.
