The state court's order comes as many Texas businesses still have yet to reopen, and amid a record filing of at least 2 million unemployment claims statewide due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Texas Supreme Court is giving the green light for collections agencies to resume debt collections and account garnishments, and landlords to move forward with evictions proceedings, starting next week.
A woman wearing a mask walks past a wall bearing a graffiti asking for rent forgiveness on La Brea Ave on National May Day amid the Covid-19 pandemic, May 1, 2020, in Los Angeles, California. Texas had a 30-day state of emergency order in place that expired on April 30. The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that evictions can resume on May 19, along with wage garnishment and bad debt collections.
However, the rule by the state's high court does not apply to certain tenants protected under the CARES Act, or renters living in homes that are financed through a federally backed mortgage, such as VA or FHA loans.
