If The Appeal Is Perfected
The Appeal Is Perfected If...
If the tenant pays court costs (or files an unchallenged
Pauper’s Oath) and deposits one month’s rent, the appeal is perfected.
Court documents will be transferred to
the county court for further proceedings.
What Are The Next Steps?
- Contact the county court for additional details.
- If the property is held under a business entity (e.g., LLC, corporation), Texas law mandates hiring a lawyer.
Note on Representation:
If the property is owned by an individual, a lawyer may not be required.
- If a lawyer is involved, they will handle the process and obtain all necessary paperwork.
Recovering Registry Funds
- If you win the county court judgment, return to original JOP court to request the rent held in court registry.
- Contact the clerk for instructions on how to apply for these funds.
