Felon Friendly Apartments is a free, TREC-licensed locating service (License #679806) that pre-screens renters with violent offense records against property-level policies across Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and Fort Worth. Violent offenses face the narrowest set of reviewing properties, and recency is the key variable - older records open more options than recent ones. The team discloses hard stops immediately: pending violent felony charges and registry status are near-universal declines, stated before any application fee is collected. For older offenses, Felon Friendly Apartments knows which Class B, Class C, and garden-style communities run genuine individualized review rather than relying solely on automated screening platforms like RealPage or TransUnion SmartMove.
How Offense Age Affects Your Options
- Older simple-assault or Class A misdemeanor assault. Often clears vacancy-motivated properties in every Texas metro, especially with documented completion of a batterer intervention program or anger management course.
- Older felony assault (third-degree or aggravated under Texas Penal Code, with intervening years). Narrower, but a real set of Class B and vacancy-motivated garden-style properties will run case-by-case review.
- Recent violent felony conviction. Very narrow. Some Class C and vacancy-motivated communities still review, but expect a small shortlist.
- Pending violent felony charges. Near-universal decline across all five Texas metros. We say so before any application fee is submitted.
- Registry status. Near-universal decline in Texas regardless of offense age.

TESTIMONIALS
What Renters Say
Real feedback from Texas renters we've helped. First-initial only to protect privacy.
"I had a felony from seven years ago and every application came back denied. They sent me a shortlist of four properties that actually review case-by-case. I got approved at the second one."
"They were honest with me about which properties would even look at my record. No false hope, no runaround. That saved me from wasting more application fees."
"I was on a parole deadline and didn't know where to start. They moved fast and found a place my officer approved before the deadline. The fee rebate on approval was real."
"I didn't realize my deferred adjudication still showed on screening reports. They explained it plainly and matched me to a community that treated it correctly."

Questions About This Record Type
Can someone with a violent felony rent an apartment in Texas?
Yes, but the set of properties that will review is narrower than for nonviolent felonies. Recency is the key variable - older offenses open more properties than recent ones. Some situations - active pending violent felony charges and registry status - are near-universal declines. We pre-screen your specific record against property policies before any application is submitted.
Does completing a batterer intervention program help with apartment approval?
At properties that run individualized review, yes. Documented completion of a BIP or anger management course signals a closed chapter to a human reviewer. Automated screening through platforms like RealPage does not read it, which is why pre-screening matters.
How does a Class A misdemeanor assault affect apartment screening?
Misdemeanor assault clears more properties than felony assault, especially as the conviction ages. Many Class B and Class C communities in Texas will review a misdemeanor assault with five or more years of clean history. See [misdemeanor history](/misdemeanor-history/) for the general screening pattern.
Do family-violence findings screen differently than other assault charges?
Yes. An 'affirmative finding of family violence' under Texas Family Code screens as a distinct category with its own set of reviewing properties - see [domestic violence convictions](/domestic-violence-convictions/) for that specific pathway and what options exist.
