State rules
No cap, and Texas bars cities from capping rents outside a declared disaster. No statute sets an increase-notice period — your lease is the contract that matters, and a fixed-term lease locks the rent until it ends.
| Amount cap | No cap on the amount. |
|---|---|
| Notice for an increase | No statutory notice period — the lease controls. |
| Frequency | No statewide frequency limit beyond the notice and lease rules. |
| Retaliation window | Retaliation is barred, as everywhere; the presumption window varies — document your dates. |
| Local rent caps | Barred by state preemption. |
| Sources | Tex. Prop. Code § 91.001; § 214.902 (local caps barred) |
No statewide lot-rent cap; ch. 94 covers manufactured-home tenancies and their notice rules.
