Rep. Ron Reynolds introduced HB 4243, a bill on Property Interests, to the Texas House on Monday, April 7 during the 89(R) legislative session, according to the Texas Legislature website.

More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to removal of certain eviction case information from credit reports’’.

The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.

The bill mandates that consumer reporting agencies remove certain eviction case information from credit reports for residential tenants who meet specific conditions. It applies to tenants who were defendants in eviction cases where judgments favored the landlords but who later settled their debts and signed new leases with the same landlords without defaulting. Such tenants can request their eviction case information be excluded from credit reports. If not restricted by federal law, agencies must comply within 90 days of receiving the request. The bill is set to take effect Sept. 1, 2025.

Ron Reynolds, member of the House Committee on House Administration, proposed another 68 bills during the 89(R) legislative session.

Reynolds graduated from Texas Southern University in 1996 with a BS and again in 1999 from Texas Tech University School of Law with a JD.

Ron Reynolds is currently serving in the Texas State House, representing the state's 27th House district. He replaced previous state representative Dora Olivo in 2011.

Bills in Texas go through a multi-step legislative process, including committee review, debates, and votes in both chambers before reaching a final decision. Each session, there are typically thousands of bills introduced, but only a portion successfully navigate the process to become law.
