Relating to the provision of written notice to vacate real property.

HB 5486 changes Texas law to clarify how landlords must provide written notice to tenants to vacate residential property. It expands acceptable delivery methods beyond current options, allowing regular mail, registered mail, certified mail with return receipt, or any mailing method that provides proof of delivery to the property. This applies only to notices given on or after September 1, 2025, with pre-existing notices governed by older law. The bill directly affects landlords and tenants in Texas residential rental agreements by standardizing notice requirements. It does not change eviction procedures but ensures clearer documentation for notice delivery.
