## What You Get

-   ✓How pending status reports on screening
-   ✓Honest hard-stop notes for pending violent felonies
-   ✓Which properties still review open cases
-   ✓Application fee rebated on approval

A pending or open case reports differently than a conviction and complicates approval, and we are honest that pending violent felony charges are a near-universal hard stop. For other open cases, we explain how pending status reports and which Texas communities still review, and we pre-screen your situation before you apply.

## How pending charges report

Screening vendors pull court records without waiting for a disposition. A pending case shows on the report as “pending” or “open.” Property policies vary in how they read that:

-   **Auto-decline any open criminal case.** Common at strict Class A properties.
-   **Auto-decline pending violent or property crimes.** Near-universal.
-   **Case-by-case review with documentation.** Vacancy-motivated properties often review open nonviolent cases when accompanied by an attorney letter or bond-conditions documentation.

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

Do apartments look at pending charges?

Yes — pending charges usually surface on a screening report because vendors pull court records without waiting for a disposition. How the property reads them varies: some auto-decline any pending criminal case; some only care about pending violent or property crimes; some review case-by-case with attorney documentation.

Is a pending violent felony a hard stop?

At nearly every apartment community in Texas, yes. We say this up front on intake.

What if the case is pending but expected to be dismissed?

Some properties will accept an attorney letter explaining the case posture. For pending nonviolent charges with a favorable posture, we can identify properties that will review.

Should I mention the pending case on the application?

If the application asks about pending charges specifically, answer honestly. If it only asks about convictions, a pending case is not a conviction. When in doubt, ask us before you fill out the form.
