How long does it take to evict someone?
Approximately three weeks from start to finish:
  • 3 days from notice to vacate to file the suit

  • 8 - 10 days to serve the citation; the law requires the defendant have six days notice before the hearing

  • 5 days to appeal the suit following the hearing required by law

  • 2 days; the Constable is required by law to post a 24-hour vacate notice on the Writ of Possession
