Sound familiar?

These are the situations we solve every day.

Getting auto-denied even for a dismissed or 3-year-old eviction because most locators don't know the difference

Losing application fees applying blind to communities that will auto-deny your eviction type

Not knowing which court documentation (Motion to Dismiss, JP disposition) actually moves the needle

Multiple evictions with no idea which Texas communities will even consider your application

A formal eviction means a landlord filed suit in court, and it’s the hardest rental-history issue to overcome. Most property managers auto-deny any eviction within three to five years.

An eviction also shows up in two places — public court records (Texas Justice of the Peace courts) and rental-history screening — so even communities that don’t use NCAC or LeasingDesk can find it.

The nuances that matter

Not all evictions are equal:

  • Filed vs. granted vs. dismissed: a dismissed eviction is far easier to place than a granted one. Some PMCs check disposition, others don’t.
  • Recency: a 7-year-old eviction reads very differently than one from 8 months ago.
  • Single vs. multiple: one eviction is a story you can explain. Multiple require a much narrower community list.
  • Austin’s Fair Chance Housing ordinance limits how eviction history can be used there — a Texas-metro-specific rule worth knowing.

Read our guides on how long an eviction stays on your record and does a dismissed eviction show on screening for the specifics.

How we solve it

We maintain relationships with communities that accept evictions older than three years or dismissed evictions. We know the risk-fee ranges — typically $300-$1,000+ for eviction cases, higher for compounding issues. We advise on court documentation, especially certified copies of Motion to Dismiss or the JP-court disposition.

For multiple evictions, we identify the small subset of communities that will consider them with higher income requirements (usually 3x-4x rent).

Texas court realities

Texas evictions happen at Justice of the Peace courts at the county level:

  • Dallas County JP courts (five precincts)
  • Tarrant County JP courts (Fort Worth)
  • Harris County JP courts (Houston)
  • Travis County JP court (Austin) — subject to Fair Chance Housing rules
  • Bexar County JP court (San Antonio)

Records are public. We know which PMCs pull them and which rely on the screening vendor alone. See our Texas JP-court eviction records guide for the details.

How It Works: 3 Steps to a Targeted Property List

1

Tell us the eviction details

Filed vs. granted vs. dismissed. Year. Metro (Austin has a fair-chance ordinance). Single or multiple.

2

We match to acceptance policies

We pull communities whose policy accepts your eviction status — dismissed, 3+ years old, single, or with a risk fee.

3

Documentation + apply

We coach you on court documentation (Motion to Dismiss, court disposition) and match you to a targeted list.

Why Texas Renters Choose Our Locating Service

We track court-record realities

Evictions show in two places — public JP-court records and rental-history screening. Some PMCs check both. We know which.

Filed, granted, dismissed — all different

A dismissed eviction is far easier to place than a granted one. We know which communities distinguish these on the report.

Austin Fair Chance ordinance

Austin limits how eviction history can be used in screening. Only Austin has this rule. We know how to use it.

Real outcomes from real people with similar situations.

★★★★★

"I have an eviction from four years ago and thought I had no shot. They found two second-chance properties in San Antonio and told me straight what the risk fee would be. No surprises."

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an eviction stay on my record in Texas? +

Typically 5-7 years on rental screening reports. Court records are public indefinitely. Evictions older than 3 years open up more communities.

Does a dismissed eviction still show up? +

The filing can still surface, but a dismissed eviction is far easier to place. A certified Motion to Dismiss clears the disposition question with most PMCs.

Can I rent with multiple evictions? +

There's a narrow set of communities that accept multiple evictions, usually requiring 3x-4x income and a higher risk fee. We know that set.

What if my eviction was in another state? +

Out-of-state evictions still show on national screening databases. We match you regardless of where the eviction happened.

Does a dismissed or filed-but-not-granted eviction still hurt my application? +

It can, because many screening vendors surface the filing itself, not just the judgment. We know which Texas communities distinguish a dismissed or filed-only case from a granted eviction, and we help you document the disposition so it's read correctly.

Eviction Guides & Resources

In-depth answers to the questions renters ask us most about eviction and Texas apartment screening.

Does a Dismissed Eviction Still Show Up on Screening?

A dismissed eviction filing can still surface, but it's far easier to place. How a certified Motion to Dismiss clears it and how we match you.

Filed vs. Granted vs. Dismissed Evictions Explained

Your eviction status changes your approval odds. What filed, granted, and dismissed mean, how Texas JP courts record them, and how to document the outcome.

How Long Does an Eviction Stay on Your Record in Texas?

Evictions typically surface on screening for 5-7 years, and court records are public indefinitely. How recency changes your odds and when more communities open up.

How Texas JP Courts Report Evictions to Screening Databases

Texas evictions run through Justice of the Peace courts by county. How public-records crawlers capture filings and why non-NCAC communities still find them.

Renting After Multiple Evictions in Texas

Multiple evictions are near-auto-deny at most communities, but a narrow subset considers them with 3x-4x income and a higher risk fee. An honest look.

Eviction vs. Broken Lease: What's the Difference for Renting?

An eviction means a landlord went to court; a broken lease means you left owing money. Why the distinction changes which communities approve you.

Other Services We Offer

Broken Lease Apartment Locating

For renters who left a prior lease early and owe a balance. A broken lease is not the same as an eviction — and many communities treat it differently.

Criminal Background Apartment Locating

For renters with a misdemeanor or felony on record. Criminal screening is separate from credit and rental history — perfect credit won't save you.

Bad Credit Apartment Locating

For renters whose credit score is too low to pass standard screening. We find Texas communities that look past the score.
