Texas Eviction Court Forms
Texas has no single statewide eviction complaint form. Here is what the courts there publish, and how to prepare your papers.
No statewide eviction complaint form in Texas
No Supreme Court-promulgated eviction petition; Misc. Docket 25-9105 amended TRCP Part V eff. Jan 1, 2026 without forms. TJCTC templates are the de facto statewide standard.
What this means for you: ask the clerk of the court where the property is located which eviction complaint and summons it uses (many courts publish their own), or have an attorney prepare the pleadings. EvictWeb’s Eviction Wizard and Notice to Quit generator help you organise the facts; the Court Forms Wizard can print an information sheet with your answers to copy onto the court’s form.
For landlords: notices, complaint, summons and writ
