Felon Friendly Apartments (TREC License #679806) is a free Texas locating service with 20+ years of real estate experience, built to place renters with multiple convictions into housing. Multiple convictions compound scrutiny because screening platforms like RealPage and TransUnion SmartMove weigh a pattern differently than a single offense. Offense age and type still matter, and some Class B and C apartment communities review the full picture rather than auto-declining. The team identifies which vacancy-motivated properties across Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Fort Worth run individualized review of a multiple-offense history and pre-screens your record before you apply.
What We Review in Your Record
- Every conviction on the record (class, date, disposition, sentence completion)
- Recency of the last offense
- Whether the pattern is same-category or across categories
- Any diversion or program completion documentation
As of 2026, most management companies apply a three-year, five-year, or seven-year lookback window depending on offense type. A pattern that falls outside the lookback reads differently than one with recent activity. We check each property’s specific lookback policy before submitting your application.

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
Are multiple convictions a hard stop?
Not automatically. Automated-screening properties are more likely to flag a pattern; case-by-case reviewers weigh the pattern with age and offense type. Vacancy-motivated properties in every metro still review multiple-conviction histories.
Does the last offense date matter more than the total count?
Usually, yes. Recency of the last conviction weighs heavily at properties that read the full picture. A pattern that ends five years back reads very differently from one that ends last month.
Do offenses in different categories screen worse than repeats of the same category?
It depends. Some reviewers weigh diversity as pattern; others weigh repeats of the same category as escalation. What we track is which Texas management companies fall into which bucket.
What supporting documentation helps?
Sentence-completion letters for each offense, employment stability, and character references - at properties that run individualized review. Automated screening does not read it.
How much does it cost to use a locator for multiple convictions?
The service is free. Apartment communities pay referral fees from their marketing budgets, and rent is identical whether you use the service or walk in. Application fees are rebated upon approval and lease signing.
