Texas Rent Relief Program

[Pete Harper]

I wanted to see if there was anyone who has first hand experience with the Texas Rent Relief program.  I have a tenant who is in the process of applying.  How long does it take to be approved?  What is the approval rate?  This tenant has been habitually late paying rent.  I've served 3-day notice to pay or quit on three separate occasions.  They have always paid at the 11th hour.  Last month I was ready to file for eviction.  My plan was to not renew their lease when it runs out in January.  I'm concerned if they are approved I will get locked into a lease extension.
