Tenants brought in unauthorized dog.

[Lue Brooks]

Hi there. I live in the property that I manage because it is a duplex. My tenants just brought in an unauthorized dog, maybe two. On the lease it says animals are not allowed in unless signed for. The only problem is that there isn’t a punishment listed on what will happen if they do bring in a pet. Can I still make them pay a fee? The only thing I’ve thought of is to call them today when the sun is up and confront them. I was going to give them 24 hours to get rid of the dog or sign a lease for the dog otherwise start the eviction process. I’m in Texas by the way. Any thoughts?
