I am about to be evicted for non payment of rent. How long can I stay in my apartment before they throw me out?

The eviction process starts with a notice to vacate from the landlord (usually 24 hours to 3 days, depending on the lease). The next step is for the landlord to file with the Justice of the Peace Court. The court date will be set between 10 - 21 days after filing. If you lose in court, you generally have 5 days to move out or appeal before the landlord can file a "Writ of Possession" to have you removed from the property. For non-payment, you may be able to get emergency rent assistance to get caught up. Call 211 to see which agencies might be able to help. Please call us at 214-823-2733 for more info.

Well, hv they put the Sheriff's notice on door? If so, it will tell u how long. If not, you could probably stay until that happens. But you may want to call TTU for more clarification. They will call you bck.
