Written-notice checkpoint

Texas Property Code § 92.056 directs notice to the person or place where rent is normally paid. A subsequent written notice may be required after a reasonable time unless the first notice was sent by certified mail, registered mail, or another trackable delivery method identified by the statute. The statute creates a rebuttable presumption that seven days is reasonable, but the condition, receipt date, and availability of labor and materials matter.

The statutory repair process also includes conditions involving rent status, responsibility for the condition, and health or safety. Check the lease, local code-enforcement options, and current official guidance before choosing a remedy. Texas State Law Library cautions that withholding rent is generally not permitted for unresolved repairs.
