Eviction Appeal Services
When a tenant appeals your JP court judgment, the case moves to county court for a trial de novo. Our experienced attorneys handle the appeal process to protect your interests.
Free ConsultationWhat Is an Eviction Appeal?
In Texas, a tenant who loses an eviction case at the Justice of the Peace court has the right to appeal within 5 days of the judgment. The appeal moves the case to county court where a completely new trial (trial de novo) takes place.
This can be frustrating for landlords who already won their case. The appeal process is more formal, requires legal representation, and can add weeks or months to the timeline.
NTX Eviction partners with experienced eviction attorneys who specialize in county court appeal proceedings, ensuring your case is presented with the strongest arguments.
