A Texas 3-day notice to quit (non-payment of rent) is used by a landlord to notify a tenant of non-payment of rent. The notice states the tenant will have at least three (3) days to remedy the total rent due or to vacate the premises before the landlord files a forcible detainer suit unless otherwise stated in the lease agreement.
