A Texas Lease Termination Letter Form (30-Day Notice) is a legal document that may be completed and delivered by either a landlord or tenant to serve a 30-day notice to vacate a rental property. Once the document has been delivered, the person notified as well as the sender, is considered in compliance with the instructions on the agreement to provide a 30-day notice prior to vacating the premises.
Laws – V.T.C.A., Property Code § 91.001
