Tex. Prop. Code Ann. §§ 92.001–92.355 § 92.262
AGENTS FOR DELIVERY OF NOTICE.
Operative Text
Sec. 92.262. AGENTS FOR DELIVERY OF NOTICE. A managing or leasing agent, whether residing or maintaining an office on-site or off-site, is the agent of the landlord for purposes of notice and other communications required or permitted by this subchapter. Acts 1983, 68th Leg., p. 3653, ch. 576, Sec. 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1984.
Under Texas Property Code § 92.262, any managing or leasing agent—whether they work on-site or off-site—is legally treated as the landlord's representative for the purpose of receiving or sending notices and other communications required or allowed under this subchapter. This means that a notice properly delivered to or from such an agent carries the same legal weight as if it were delivered directly to or from the landlord. The rule establishes a clear chain of communication so that tenants and landlords have a defined point of contact for formal correspondence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 92.262, property owners should be aware that any managing or leasing agent they employ—regardless of whether that agent works on-site or remotely—is legally empowered to send and receive statutory notices on the landlord's behalf. Compliant operators typically ensure their agents are informed of all notice requirements under the subchapter and maintain clear records of any communications exchanged through those agents. Because the agent's receipt of a notice is treated as the landlord's receipt, operators generally establish reliable internal procedures for routing tenant communications promptly.

Section 92.262 of the Texas Property Code means that tenants can deliver required or permitted notices to a property's managing or leasing agent rather than needing to locate and contact the landlord directly. A notice properly delivered to that agent—whether they are on-site or off-site—is generally treated as notice to the landlord under this subchapter. Tenants who have questions about whether a specific agent qualifies or how to document delivery may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource familiar with Texas landlord-tenant law.
