LANDLORD'S FAILURE TO CORRECT INFORMATION.
Operative Text
Sec. 92.203. LANDLORD'S FAILURE TO CORRECT INFORMATION. A landlord who has provided information under Subdivision (2) or (3) of Subsection (b) of Section 92.201 is liable to a tenant according to this subchapter if:(1) the information becomes incorrect because a name or address changes; and(2) the landlord fails to correct the information on or before the seventh day after the date the tenant gives the landlord written notice that the tenant may exercise the remedies under this subchapter if the corrected information is not provided within seven days. Acts 1983, 68th Leg., p. 3647, ch. 576, Sec. 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1984. Amended by Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 869, Sec. 4, eff. Jan. 1, 1996.
Under Texas Property Code § 92.203, a landlord who has previously disclosed certain identifying or contact information—such as a name or address—becomes liable to a tenant when that information changes and the landlord fails to provide the corrected details within seven days of receiving written notice from the tenant. The seven-day clock starts only after the tenant has formally notified the landlord in writing that remedies under the subchapter may be pursued if the update is not made. This provision is part of a broader framework requiring landlords to keep tenants informed of who owns or manages the property and how to reach them.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Texas Property Code § 92.203 generally maintain up-to-date records of any names or addresses previously disclosed under § 92.201(b)(2) or (3), and promptly update tenants whenever that information changes. A compliant operator treats any written tenant notice about outdated contact or ownership information as a seven-day deadline to provide corrections. Keeping a clear paper trail of disclosures and updates helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with this section.

Texas Property Code § 92.203 gives tenants a mechanism to hold landlords accountable when previously disclosed ownership or contact information becomes outdated and is not corrected. If a tenant sends written notice informing the landlord that the information is incorrect and that remedies under the subchapter may be pursued, the landlord has seven days to provide corrected details before liability under this section may attach. Tenants who believe a landlord has failed to comply with § 92.203 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand what remedies the subchapter makes available.
