Under Tex. Prop. Code § 301.063, property owners and managers should be aware that the commission has authority to receive and investigate complaints alleging fair housing violations, and may attempt to conciliate disputes before taking further action. Operators who maintain consistent, documented, non-discriminatory policies and practices are generally better positioned to respond to any complaint that enters the commission's process. Familiarity with the procedures outlined in Subchapters E and F can help property managers understand what to expect if a complaint is filed against them.

Tex. Prop. Code § 301.063 gives individuals who believe they have experienced a violation of Texas fair housing law a formal avenue to file a complaint with the state commission, which is then obligated to receive, investigate, and seek to resolve the matter. The commission's conciliation process under Subchapters E and F may offer a path toward resolution without requiring immediate litigation. Tenants who believe their rights under Chapter 301 have been violated may also wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand the full range of options available through this complaint process.
