THE LEGAL STATUTE STATES:


§ 24.0061.  WRIT OF POSSESSION.  

(a)  A landlord who prevails in an eviction suit is entitled to a judgment for   
possession of the premises and a writ of possession.  In this   
chapter, "premises" means the unit that is occupied or rented and   
any outside area or facility that the tenant is entitled to use   
under a written lease or oral rental agreement, or that is held out   
for the use of tenants generally.  	

(b)  A writ of possession may not be issued before the sixth   
day after the date on which the judgment for possession is rendered   
unless a possession bond has been filed and approved under the Texas  
Rules of Civil Procedure and judgment for possession is thereafter   
granted by default.  
	
(c)  The court shall notify a tenant in writing of a default   
judgment for possession by sending a copy of the judgment to the   
premises by first class mail not later than 48 hours after the entry   
of the judgment.  
	
(d)  The writ of possession shall order the officer executing   the writ to:
(1)  post a written warning of at least 8-1/2 by 11   
inches on the exterior of the front door of the rental unit   
notifying the tenant that the writ has been issued and that the writ   
will be executed on or after a specific date and time stated in the   
warning not sooner than 24 hours after the warning is posted;  and  	
(2)  when the writ is executed:                                                 			
(A)  deliver possession of the premises to the   landlord;                     			
(B)  instruct the tenant and all persons claiming   
under the tenant to leave the premises immediately, and, if the   
persons fail to comply, physically remove them;  			
(C)  instruct the tenant to remove or to allow the   
landlord, the landlord's representatives, or other persons acting   
under the officer's supervision to remove all personal property   
from the rental unit other than personal property claimed to be   
owned by the landlord;  and  			
(D)  place, or have an authorized person place,   
the removed personal property outside the rental unit at a nearby   
location, but not blocking a public sidewalk, passageway, or street   
and not while it is raining, sleeting, or snowing.  	

(e)  The writ of possession shall authorize the officer, at   
the officer's discretion, to engage the services of a bonded or   
insured warehouseman to remove and store, subject to applicable   
law, part or all of the property at no cost to the landlord or the   
officer executing the writ.  

(f)  The officer may not require the landlord to store the   property.    
       	
(g)  The writ of possession shall contain notice to the   
officer that under Section 7.003, Civil Practice and Remedies Code,   
the officer is not liable for damages resulting from the execution   
of the writ if the officer executes the writ in good faith and with   
reasonable diligence.  	

(h)  A sheriff or constable may use reasonable force in   
executing a writ under this section.
