In Texas, landlords are generally allowed to consider a tenant's criminal history when deciding whether to rent a property. However, they must comply with fair housing laws and cannot discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. While a felony conviction can be a legitimate factor in rental decisions, it must be applied consistently and not in a discriminatory manner. Additionally, recent legislation may influence how criminal histories are considered, so it's essential to stay informed about current laws.
