Texas Property Code § 92.201 requires landlords to disclose the name and address of the property's record title holder and, if applicable, the name and street address of any off-site management company. This information must be provided to tenants or government officials within seven days of a written request, though it may also be proactively included in the lease, posted conspicuously on the premises, or provided in written rules before any request is made. Either a legal name or a properly recorded assumed name may be used to satisfy the disclosure requirement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Tex. Prop. Code § 92.201, compliant operators generally ensure that ownership and management contact information is readily accessible to tenants—whether by including it in the lease agreement, posting it conspicuously at the property or management office, or providing it in writing within seven days of a tenant's request. If an off-site management company handles the property, its name and street address must also be disclosed, not just a post office box. Keeping this information current and correcting it promptly through any of the methods authorized by § 92.201 helps maintain ongoing compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 92.201 of the Texas Property Code gives tenants the right to know who owns their dwelling and who manages it, including the name and address of any off-site management company. If this information is not already in your lease or posted at the property, you may request it in writing, and the landlord is required to respond within seven days. Tenants who believe this disclosure obligation has not been met may consult a tenant-rights organization or review the broader remedies available under Tex. Prop. Code §§ 92.001–92.355 to understand available enforcement paths.
