Peter has already covered this for at least Texas in my TAR a notice is not required if you are checking the condition of the property which makes sense bc then if they are not upkeeping the  property then they can tidy things up hide hole etc prior to you showing up.I will say I ran into problems with my current tenant on this they are NOT happy and expressed frustration that I would be showing up unannounced.
