§ 132.098 EVICTION PROCEEDINGS AS A DEFENSE.
   (A)   No person shall be charged with the violation of this subchapter if the person:
      (1)   Has instituted eviction proceedings within 30 days of receipt of notice of criminal activities against the tenant whose suspected criminal activities would otherwise give rise to potential liability under this subchapter; and
      (2)   Has completed the eviction proceedings within 30 days of commencement of the proceedings.
   (B) If any eviction proceedings are not completed within 30 days by reason of court-ordered delays in such proceedings, the person charged with a violation of this subchapter must, nonetheless, move forward expeditiously with any such eviction proceeding.
