Tex. Prop. Code Ann. §§ 94.001–94.303 § 94.161
AGENTS FOR DELIVERY OF NOTICE.
Operative Text
Sec. 94.161. 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 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 801, Sec. 1, eff. April 1, 2002.
Under Texas Property Code § 94.161, any managing agent, leasing agent, or resident manager who acts on behalf of a landlord is legally treated as that 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 provision establishes a clear chain of communication authority within manufactured home community relationships.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 94.161, property owners should be aware that their managing agents, leasing agents, and resident managers are legally empowered to send and receive official notices on the landlord's behalf. Compliant operators typically ensure that these representatives are well-informed about the notice requirements of the subchapter and maintain accurate records of all communications handled through these agents. Designating and training these agents carefully helps ensure that notice obligations are met consistently and that no required communication falls through the cracks.

Section 94.161 means that tenants in manufactured home communities can generally deliver required notices to a managing agent, leasing agent, or resident manager and have that communication count as notice to the landlord. Tenants who are unsure whether a particular representative qualifies under this provision may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Texas manufactured home community law. Keeping dated copies or delivery confirmations of any notices sent through these agents is a practice commonly associated with protecting one's rights under this subchapter.
