Why this program matters

Losing a home costs more than rent

Most tenants in Harris County eviction court do not have a lawyer, while the person filing against them usually does. With EviSmart, a tenant is able to read the notice, track the deadlines, gather the paperwork, and raise real defenses before rulings.

• Act before a judgment hits your record.
• Bring the defenses that actually matter in court.
• Reach legal aid early, when there is still time.
