Texas Law Allows Authorized Nonlawyer Representation
Texas Property Code §24.011(a)
"In eviction suits in justice court for nonpayment of rent or holding over beyond a rental term, the parties may represent themselves or be represented by their authorized agents, who need not be attorneys."

We See You, We Hear You, & We Get It
You're not just a case number. We will fight for your rights!
You Just Started a New Job
A gap between paychecks put you behind on rent. You're back on your feet — but the eviction notice already came. We can help you buy the time you need.
Your Unit Needs Repairs
You withheld rent because your landlord refused to fix serious problems. Texas law may be on your side — and we know how to document it.
You Need More Time to Move
You're not disputing the eviction — you just need a few more weeks to find a safe place to go. We prepare documents that can give you that breathing room.
Your Lease Expired or Was Violated
Whether it's a holdover situation or an alleged lease violation, you still have rights. We research the facts and prepare your defense documents.
You Missed Your Court Date
A missed hearing feels like the end — but it often isn't. Call us immediately. There may still be options for your case.
You Have a Housing Voucher (Section 8)
Section 8 evictions carry extra rules and protections. We understand the process and can help you navigate your rights under your voucher program.
What Our Clients Say
Over 40,000 Texas tenants have trusted us when it mattered most.
"I needed time to pay my rent, but my property manager said no and even told me that I had to move out on my court date. After speaking with Mr. Baker, I ended up staying and was able to catch up on my back rent. Thank you!"

"I have had to use Mr. Baker several times since 2019, and he has always been a transparent person and did exactly as he said. I have referred family, friends, and co-workers and they were all satisfied and pleased with their services. Keep up the good work!"
L. Blake
Texas — Oct. 2024
"Texas Tenants Benefits was very helpful during my eviction case. The property manager had broken the guidelines and had a writ of possession issued against me. The constable came to serve me. After calling Mr. Joseph Baker he was able to stop the writ of possession after speaking to the courts. This did stop the property manager from putting my things out. Thank you Mr. Joseph Baker — the Wright family is grateful for your services."
G. Wright
Texas — Nov. 2024
"I went to the court and the clerk gave me the wrong information. After speaking to Mr. Baker he contacted the court and got an emergency hearing on my behalf. The Judge was dead-set on ruling in the property manager's favor, until Mr. Baker requested 15 minutes to get some case law — which did convince the Judge. I won my case. Mr. Joseph Baker is the real deal. Thank you Texas Tenants Benefits."
C. Ferguson
Texas — Dec. 2024
"My landlord tried everything to get me kicked out but Texas Tenants Benefits did exactly what was told to me and helped me. Mr. Baker was very thorough and explained the entire process, which brought me comfort. I could tell Mr. Baker cares about his job and his clients. Bless you Mr. Joseph Baker!"
J. Martinez
Texas — Dec. 2024
"My kids were at a school they loved and were graduating, but financial hard times hit me with a sudden cut in hours and I used some money to help with the graduation. Mr. Joseph Baker reviewed my file and found mistakes, and not only got the case dismissed, but it gave me more than enough time to save back up. Thank you to you and your staff."
J. Williams
Texas — June 2025
"Moving from another state and having lost my job, it was scary for me. I was facing an eviction and when I received a call back from Mr. Joseph Baker, he explained the entire process to me and put it in writing. I did hire them. When I had a question he got right to the point, and I was grateful for getting the time to find another place. Thank you!"
S. Givens
Texas — Nov. 2025
"Texas Tenants Benefits helped me keep my Section 8 because my property managers had violated laws against me. Mr. Joseph Baker got the case dismissed 4 days before the trial. I am grateful, because me and my kids had no other place to live."
S. Gray
Texas — June 2026
"Mr. Joseph Baker is a real paralegal but he is also a real civil servant. It was an honor to work with him and he was firm about protecting me and my sister, because we are on fixed income and needed real help — and they gave us the help we needed. God Bless you all!"
