Eviction Pledge

Minimize loss of income & protect your investment Texas Broker License #9002351

Even with strong screening and a Tier-1 Tenant philosophy, circumstances can arise where legal action becomes necessary. When that happens, owners need a management company that understands Texas eviction law, follows correct notice procedures, and minimizes income loss as efficiently as possible.

Hundreds of evictions are filed each month across Tarrant County and surrounding counties. Costs can begin around $129 for a single occupant case, $204 for two leaseholders, and can exceed $1,000 when factoring in Writ of Possession fees and set-out (place-out) expenses.

To protect our clients and reduce the financial impact of a non-payment eviction, 1st Choice Property Management offers an Eviction Pledge included in our Full Management Plus Plan.

Full Management Plus Plan Includes:

• Eviction Filing Fees
  All filing fees associated with the JP Court non-payment eviction process.
• Broker Representation Fees
  We represent your interests during the eviction process, saving you from costly legal representation.
• Writ of Possession Fees
  If required, we cover the cost associated with obtaining a Writ of Possession.
• Removal Cost of Tenant Belongings (Up to $500 Cap)
  If a set-out is ordered by the court, we cover up to $500 to move the tenant’s possessions to the curb as required by Texas law.

This program is designed to help owners reduce the financial strain typically associated with non-payment eviction actions - and is especially valuable to out-of-state investors and owners who want predictable costs and reliable representation.

Program Limitations & Conditions

For clarity and transparency

Evictions must be specifically related to non-payment of rent only to qualify for coverage under this pledge.

This program does NOT cover the following:

• Cost of a Jury Trial (extremely rare in JP Court)
• Lost rent
• Damage to the property
• Cases elevated beyond the JP Court system (e.g., county court appeals, legal disputes beyond unpaid rent)

This pledge is not insurance - it is a financial protection benefit offered only through our Full Management Plus Plan.
