Houston TX - Eviction Process Help ?

[Juan Del Arco]

I am going to start an eviction this Monday, but I have a few questions: 

- I sent the 5-day notice to pay or quit last Monday, but I did not sign it. Can this be an issue?
- I already completed all my forms (eviction petition and military affidavit), should I notarize them before filing? 

Thank you

@Juan Del Arco. Call me conservative, detail oriented, anal - whatever. 

In Texas, when I an sending a Notice Of Termination And To Vacate Premises. I always send one copy via Registered Mail, Return Receipt Requested, a second copy via Regular Mail, and a 3rd Copy via email if I have an email address.

The Registered Mail Return Receipt is accepted in JP Court as Prima Facia Evidence the Notice was provided regardless of whether the tenant received the letter, did not open it, ignored it, whatever!
