Notice
No rent-increase statute; a month-to-month rent change effectively requires the one-month notice used to end the tenancy.
Rent control
Cities may adopt rent control only after finding a disaster-related housing emergency and with the governor’s approval (Tex. Loc. Gov’t Code § 214.902).

Law: Tex. Prop. Code § 91.001; Tex. Loc. Gov’t Code § 214.902
