Can I be evicted during this public health crisis?
The CDC has issued an Agency Order that halts evictions for nonpayment of rent for renters who meet certain criteria. The Order went into effect on September 4, 2020 and will remain in effect until March 31, 2021. Please note that other types of evictions are NOT covered by the Order. Read more about it on the Texas State Law Library website.

Do I still need to pay rent even though evictions have been halted?
Yes - if you can continue paying your rent, you should. To receive protection through the CDC Order, every adult on the lease or rental contract will need to meet certain requirements and sign a sworn declaration under penalty of perjury. Find out more information here.

What if I live at a public housing authority property, affordable housing property or use Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8)?
Both public housing and Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) residents who experience a loss or reduction of wages should contact their housing authority to learn what assistance can be provided.
