The court costs themselves are the smallest line on that ledger. The lost rent is the big one. Texas Property Code <a href="https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PR/htm/PR.24.htm#24.005">Section 24.005</a> sets the 3-day default notice period unless the lease says otherwise, and the speed of the rest of the process depends entirely on getting that first step right.</p>https://kendallcreekproperties.com/blog/texas-eviction-process/Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://kendallcreekproperties.com/blog/texas-eviction-process/<p>A Texas eviction for non-payment of rent moves through Justice Court (JP court) in roughly three to six weeks from the day the Notice to Vacate is delivered, and the default notice period under Texas Property Code <a href="https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PR/htm/PR.24.htm#24.005">Section 24.005</a> is three days unless the lease specifies a different period. Total out-of-pocket cost for an uncontested eviction usually runs $500 to $2,000 in filing fees, service costs, attorney fees, and writ execution before you ever talk about lost rent or turnover.</p>
