| HB 1444 | Requires court date when summons is issued in certain land- lords and tenants suits |
HB 1444 - This act revises provisions from HB 361 (1997)
relating to landlord-tenant. The act provides that a court date
must be assigned at the time the summons is issued in suits for
unlawful detainer or forcible entry. The court date must be set
within 21 business days from the date the summons is issued
unless the plaintiff consents to a later date. The summons must
be served at least 4 days before the court date specified in the
summons.
