Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

eviction appeal

Daughter went to court today on eviction notice. (actually the only one out of four that showed up for hearing) Judge ruled in her favor. Amounts landlord stated were higher than what she owed. Daughter had all receipts. Landlord appeared in court with nothing. Judge concluded only 562 owed, not 1640. Landlord wants to appeal. How will this process work now?

Re: eviction appeal

She'll need to show up at the appeal hearing which will probably be at the county court at law, not at the JP court. She should pay the $562 to the landlord and get a receipt. The appeals judge should also rule in her favor and she should show an attempt (in writing) to pay the $562 as evidence of her good faith if the landlord doesn't accept the money.
