Operative Text
Sec. 92.113. NOTICE BY E-MAIL. (a) Notice and other communications required or permitted by this subchapter may be sent by e-mail if the tenant and the landlord or landlord's agent have previously communicated by e-mail.(b) The landlord or landlord's agent may designate a specific e-mail address for a tenant to use for the purpose of Subsection (a). Added by Acts 2025, 89th Leg., R.S., Ch. 732 (H.B. 2037), Sec. 2, eff. September 1, 2025. SUBCHAPTER D. SECURITY DEVICES
Under Texas Property Code § 92.113, notices and other communications that are required or permitted under the relevant subchapter may be delivered by e-mail, provided that the tenant and the landlord (or the landlord's agent) have previously exchanged e-mails with one another. This provision, effective September 1, 2025, does not mandate e-mail as the exclusive method of communication but recognizes it as a valid channel when a prior e-mail exchange has occurred. A landlord or landlord's agent also has the option to designate a specific e-mail address for tenants to use when sending such communications.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Texas Property Code § 92.113 generally maintain records of any prior e-mail exchanges with tenants, since that prior communication is what establishes the eligibility to use e-mail for required or permitted notices. Compliant operators who prefer to receive tenant notices at a particular address typically designate that specific e-mail address clearly and in writing so tenants know where to direct their messages. Keeping organized records of e-mail correspondence helps demonstrate that the prerequisite of prior e-mail communication has been met.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Texas Property Code § 92.113 recognizes that tenants may send required or permitted notices to their landlord by e-mail, as long as the two parties have previously communicated by e-mail. If a landlord has designated a specific e-mail address for this purpose, tenants generally direct their notices there and retain copies of sent messages as documentation. Tenants who have questions about whether their notice was properly delivered or what methods of communication are acceptable may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Texas law.
