Tex. Prop. Code Ann. §§ 92.001–92.355 § 92.060
AGENTS FOR DELIVERY OF NOTICE.
Operative Text
Sec. 92.060. AGENTS FOR DELIVERY OF NOTICE. A managing agent, leasing agent, or resident manager is the agent of the landlord for purposes of notice and other communications required or permitted by this subchapter. Acts 1983, 68th Leg., p. 3639, ch. 576, Sec. 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1984.
Under Texas Property Code § 92.060, a landlord's managing agent, leasing agent, or resident manager is legally treated as the landlord's representative when it comes to notices and other communications required or permitted under the subchapter. This means that delivering a notice to one of these agents carries the same legal effect as delivering it directly to the landlord. The provision establishes a clear chain of agency so that neither party is left without a recognized point of contact for official communications.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 92.060, property owners who use managing agents, leasing agents, or resident managers should be aware that those individuals are legally empowered to receive—and send—notices on the landlord's behalf. A compliant operator generally ensures that these agents are informed of their responsibilities under the subchapter and are accessible to tenants for official communications. Maintaining clear internal procedures for routing and documenting notices received by agents helps ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.

Section 92.060 of the Texas Property Code means that tenants do not need to track down the property owner directly to deliver a legally valid notice—serving a managing agent, leasing agent, or resident manager is generally sufficient. Tenants who are unsure which individuals qualify as agents for a given property may find it helpful to review their lease or contact the property management office to identify the appropriate recipient. Tenant-rights organizations in Texas can provide general guidance on how this agency rule interacts with other notice requirements in the subchapter.
