Which Texas property types run genuine felony review vs. auto-decline: Class A/B/C patterns, individualized assessment, and why vacancy drives review.
What this guide covers
- Class A/B/C policy patterns
- Individualized assessment
- Why vacancy-motivated properties review

Background
Explain which property types run genuine review. (Renter with a felony wants to know which properties actually review.)
What matters most
- Class A/B/C policy patterns. Understanding this piece typically has the largest single effect on approval odds.
- Individualized assessment. Two identical applicants can get different answers at different properties for this reason.
- Why vacancy-motivated properties review. Preparation cuts down on repeated applications and burned fees.
Honest expectations
We are direct with renters about what this record type does and does not open. Where a situation is a near-universal hard stop, we say so up front rather than collect an application fee. Where a property will genuinely review, we identify it so you spend your one application well.
What to do next
- Pull your own screening report so you know what a landlord will see. See how to check your own background before you apply.
- Line up certified dispositions from the county clerk and any completion documentation.
- Have income verification ready — most Texas apartments want gross monthly income at 3x rent.
- Get a pre-screened shortlist before you apply blind.
