Eviction Appeals in Texas
When a tenant appeals, you need to be prepared for the county court — with a complete new packet.
When a Tenant Appeals
- →The tenant has 5 days after the judgment to file an appeal to the county court at law.
- →The tenant must post an appeal bond (or qualify for a fee waiver).
- →The case is essentially re-heard at the county court level with stricter procedural rules.
- →The original Justice Court judgment is stayed (paused) while the appeal is pending.
What You'll Need for the Appeal
- ✓All original documents from the Justice Court case (notice, lease, rent ledger, SCRA, petition)
- ✓New county court petition and cover sheet for the appeal
- ✓Any additional evidence not presented in the original hearing
- ✓Updated rent ledger if additional rent has accrued since the original filing
