Tex. Prop. Code Ann. §§ 92.001–92.355 § 92.112
AGENTS FOR DELIVERY OF NOTICE.
Operative Text
Sec. 92.112. 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. Added by Acts 2025, 89th Leg., R.S., Ch. 732 (H.B. 2037), Sec. 2, eff. September 1, 2025.
Under Texas Property Code § 92.112, any managing agent, leasing agent, or resident manager is legally treated as the landlord's agent when it comes to delivering or receiving notices and other communications required or permitted under the subchapter. This means that a notice properly sent to or received by one of these representatives carries the same legal weight as if it were sent to or received by the landlord directly. The rule clarifies the chain of communication so that neither party needs to track down the property owner personally to satisfy notice requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 92.112, property owners who use managing agents, leasing agents, or resident managers should ensure those representatives are equipped and authorized to handle all statutory notices and communications on the owner's behalf. A compliant operator typically keeps agents informed of notice deadlines and documentation requirements so that communications received by an agent are promptly relayed and acted upon. Because an agent's receipt of notice is legally equivalent to the landlord's receipt, gaps in internal communication between an owner and their representative can have real legal consequences.

Section 92.112 means that tenants generally do not need to deliver notices or communications directly to a property owner — serving a managing agent, leasing agent, or resident manager is legally sufficient under the subchapter. Tenants who need to provide required notice (such as repair requests or other statutory communications) can direct those communications to whichever representative manages their property. If a question arises about whether notice was properly delivered, tenant-rights organizations or a local legal aid office can help clarify how this provision applies.
