WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors.
Based on an Email Hotline inquiry, we revised Who is protected by this housing law? What protections does this law offer? in our Texas Housing Laws page to clarify the distinction between the steps one must take to terminate a lease when the abuser lives in the home versus when the abuser doesn’t live in the home. Changes made in Spanish and English.
