Federal judge rules CDC’s eviction moratorium unconstitutional
Many tenants may find they are no longer protected by the CDC s eviction moratorium after a federal judge in Texas ruled it unconstitutional.
HOUSTON - A federal judge in Texas has ruled the CDC national eviction moratorium is unconstitutional. However, a Harris County judge and tenant attorneys say it will still protect renters from eviction in the state.
Court data shows the CDC eviction moratorium has only stopped about 10% of the 13,000 cases filed in Harris County courts since it took effect in September, either because it wasn t used or judges did not accept it.
