Does email count as legal notice in Texas?
Often not — many statutes and leases require written notice by mail or personal delivery, and certified mail is the standard way to prove it. Check your lease and the statute cited above.
How do I prove the notice was sent?
Keep the letter, the mailing date, and delivery evidence. NoticeDept archives the exact PDF mailed, USPS scan events, and certified tracking/signature receipts automatically.
What if I get the notice period wrong?
An improperly noticed action can be delayed or dismissed, restarting the clock. The generator applies the Texas rule above and cites the statute in the letter.
