The bill also says cities can’t take any measure that “otherwise relates to an eviction suit.
“Now, some cities have made versions of their temporary ordinances permanent, while San Marcos continues to require 90 days notice.” These ordinances were always meant to be temporary, but a permanent one has been in the works in Dallas since last year. Throughout this month, the city will host several events to gather comments from residents about the permanent eviction ordinance.

Melton and his wife, Lauren Melton, started Dallas Eviction Advocacy Center to help tenants in the city avoid eviction.
David Mintz, vice president of government affairs for the Texas Apartment Association, said just about all of those things.
