no statewide rule entry notice.
Texas has no statewide statute requiring advance notice before a landlord enters. Entry rights are governed by your lease, so check what it says about access.
What this means for you: Because state law is silent, your lease is the main protection. A lease can require notice; if it does, the landlord must follow it.
Your next step: Read your lease's access clause. If it requires notice and the landlord ignores it, that's a lease breach you can raise in writing.
