Can a landlord refuse Section 8 in Cedar Hill, TX?
Texas limits local voucher-protection ordinances, but that does not let every property refuse vouchers. TDHCA-funded or administered multifamily housing, including housing-tax-credit properties, cannot exclude applicants because they use Housing Choice Vouchers. Other program or contract requirements may also apply; ordinary screening and agency approval still matter.
Texas Government Code § 2306.269: voucher rules for TDHCA housing
Program-specific voucher requirements still apply despite local ordinance preemption.
