Eviction Appeals
Even if a landlord prevails at an eviction trial before a Justice of the Peace, the tenant still has the right to appeal. Tenants are also generally able to appeal for free by filing an affidavit of inability to pay. Landlords also are generally required to obtain attorney representation upon appeal.
Once the tenant appeals, landlords are presented with a series of options that may help or hurt their ability to swiftly evict the tenant. Huhem Law Firm routinely guides landlords though the eviction appeal process. Let us help you achieve the swiftest and least stressful method of judicially evicting a tenant upon appeal.

Litigation between landlords and tenants or vendors can arise in various situations. Huhem Law Firm, PLLC has years of experience defending landlords against various lawsuits, including but not limited to lawsuits alleging breach of contract, premises liability, defamation, wrongful eviction, and Texas Property Code Chapter 92 violations.
