The CDC’s federal moratorium on evictions ended on August 26, 2021 due to a ruling from the Supreme Court of the United States. If you are concerned about being evicted because you can’t pay rent, visit the Texas Rent Relief website and also you can search local programs that may be available in both your city or county. If you receive rent relief, you may qualify for the Texas Eviction Diversion Program. You can learn more about that program with brochures in English, Español, Mandarin, Korean, and Vietnamese.
