About eviction risk in Texas
Texas spans 1,877 cities in our dataset, with an average landlord-risk score of 1.6/10. Scores range from 1.0 in the most landlord-neutral jurisdictions to 6.3 in the most tenant-protective. The state's average rent burden (median gross rent ÷ median household income) is 28.8%, which is the single strongest predictor of eviction filings.
Landlords operating anywhere in Texas should review state-level statutes on notice periods, just-cause requirements, security deposit limits, and grace periods before initiating any eviction. Local ordinances in tenant-protective cities may impose additional requirements beyond state minimums — use the city grids above to see risk at the specific jurisdiction where you own rentals.
