HB 2909 allows courts to expunge records of residential eviction suits under specific conditions, such as lack of legal basis for the eviction or proof that a tenant has maintained gainful employment for two years following a judgment. The bill also prohibits landlords from using expunged eviction records in rental decisions, with violators subject to damages and penalties. The Texas Supreme Court is required to adopt rules for implementation by January 1, 2026.
