Texas Holdover Notice Deadline Calculator
Use the actual supportable Chapter 24 delivery/start date and the Notice-to-Vacate period that applies under the written lease or Texas default.
Calculate the notice-period end date
Do not use the mailing date automatically. For mail, first establish a supportable delivery or receipt fact.
How this Texas deadline calculation works
The calculator starts with the delivery or other supportable Chapter 24 start date. That start date is shown separately and is not counted as Day 1. The tool then counts the number of calendar days in the applicable Notice-to-Vacate period and identifies the nominal last day.
Texas Property Code §24.0042 can extend the end of the notice period when the nominal last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or state or federal holiday. The calculator checks those dates and moves the end of the period forward when the statute requires it.
The notice period entered here must come from the rule that actually applies to the tenancy. A written lease can affect the notice period, so this page does not decide the number of days for you. Use the Texas holdover guide and workflow first if you are unsure which period applies.
Use the actual delivery fact, not an assumed date
The delivery/start date matters because every later date in the calculation depends on it. If the notice is mailed, do not automatically enter the mailing date as though delivery occurred that same day. First establish the supportable delivery or receipt fact that controls the Chapter 24 count.
If you are planning a future delivery, the calculator can show an estimate, but the result should be recalculated after the notice is actually delivered. That is why the planned-delivery checkbox produces a warning rather than treating the estimate as final.
Before relying on the calculated date
- Confirm the tenancy actually ended and the tenant is on the correct holdover path.
- Confirm the notice period used in the calculator matches the written lease or the applicable Texas default.
- Confirm the delivery/start date can be supported by the facts and delivery method.
- If the nominal last day falls on a weekend or applicable holiday, use the extended end date shown by the calculator.
- Run the pre-filing recheck before treating the first day after the period as a proper filing date.
The first calendar day after the notice period is an important timing marker, but it is not a guarantee that a filing is proper. Other facts can still affect the case, including whether the notice was validly delivered, whether the tenancy actually ended, and whether anything changed after notice.
