Texas' laws are extremely landlord-friendly, so this doesn't surprise me too much unfortunately. Texas is a place where those with the power are basically free to wield it

I have a hard time believing that they are evicting people without any other reason other than one missed month of payment. It would be incredibly ignorant of them to do that given how difficult it will be to find paying tenants right now. But unless the government steps in to pay the landlords mortgage I don't see how they have any right to block evictions.

So everybody that saved up has to spend their money, but people that didn't save up, we don't want them to have to suffer any consequences at all. Why save money?
