Writ of Possession

Add-on — Post-judgment writ filing and constable coordination. After a judgment for possession is entered, if the tenant does not vacate within the statutory period, the landlord may request a Writ of Possession. The constable posts a 24-hour notice on the door, then returns on the scheduled date to supervise the move-out.

What the constable does, and what you provide

Important: the constable supervises — they do not move belongings or change locks. The landlord is responsible for: (1) a moving crew or hired movers to move the tenant's belongings to the property line, (2) a licensed locksmith to re-key all exterior locks, and (3) any necessary supplies such as trash bags, boxes, or PPE. We coordinate the scheduling and logistics with the constable's office.

What's Included

• Writ of Possession application filed with the court
• Constable scheduling and coordination
• Compliance with all statutory waiting periods (Tex. Prop. Code § 24.0061)
• Documentation of writ execution
• Guidance on handling tenant property left behind per Texas law

Compliance Note

Texas Property Code § 24.0061 governs writ execution. The constable supervises while the landlord's moving crew places belongings at the property line and the landlord's locksmith re-keys the locks. The landlord is also responsible for any supplies required (trash bags, boxes, PPE, etc.). Landlords cannot change locks or remove belongings without a valid writ — doing so creates significant legal liability. DFW Eviction Pros is NOT a law firm and will not provide legal advice.
