What We Do
Our Programs
Faultline delivers a suite of programs designed to strengthen transparency, accuracy, and lawful procedure in Texas eviction practices. Each program is built around forensic auditing, statutory compliance, and public‑interest education — giving tenants, courts, and community partners the tools they need to verify the truth behind eviction filings.
Program 01
Forensic Ledger & Notice Auditing Program
Documenting failures. Demanding answers.
Faultline provides tenants and community organizations with structured tools to review and verify the accuracy of rent ledgers, notices, and filing documents. This program focuses on identifying:
Key Activities
- Ledger discrepancies
- Fabricated delinquency
- Improper notice timelines
- Authority defects
Our auditing framework helps Texans understand whether an eviction filing reflects lawful, verified data or automated assumptions.
Program 02
SB 38 Compliance Education Program
Knowledge is the first line of accountability.
This program teaches tenants, advocates, and community partners how SB 38 governs attorney involvement, notice requirements, and filing authority in Texas. Through workshops, guides, and digital tools, Faultline explains:
Key Activities
- When an attorney must be involved
- What constitutes lawful notice
- How authority must be documented
- What courts expect in compliant filings
This program empowers Texans to recognize when filings fail to meet statutory standards.
Program 03
Tenant Case Verification Tools
Changing the rules, not just the players.
Faultline develops accessible tools that allow tenants to perform their own landlord‑case verification. These tools help users confirm:
Key Activities
- Whether the filer had legal standing
- Whether the ledger is accurate
- Whether notices were served properly
- Whether the petition aligns with Texas law
This program shifts the burden of proof back onto entities generating eviction filings and gives tenants a clear, evidence‑based way to understand their case.
How We Work
Our principles
Procedural Truth
We believe eviction filings must reflect verified facts, not automated assumptions. Procedural truth means every ledger, notice, and authority document must be grounded in reality and capable of withstanding scrutiny. Faultline exists to ensure that filings align with the law — not with convenience.
Transparency in Housing Systems
Opaque workflows create risk. Faultline stands for clear, accessible, and understandable processes that allow tenants, courts, and community partners to see how eviction filings are generated, what data they rely on, and whether they comply with statutory requirements. Transparency protects everyone.
Accountability Through Verification
Accountability begins with verification. Faultline promotes systems where authority, notice, and ledger accuracy are not optional — they are mandatory. We believe every entity involved in eviction filings should be able to demonstrate compliance with the Texas Property Code, SB 38, and the Rules of Civil Procedure.
Non‑Partisan Compliance Education
Faultline is committed to non‑partisan, evidence‑based education that empowers Texans to understand their rights and responsibilities. Our work is grounded in law, not politics. We teach compliance because lawful process protects communities.

Faultline is committed to building a statewide culture where eviction filings reflect accuracy, verified authority, and full compliance with Texas law. Your contribution helps us expand our programs, develop new verification tools, and reach more communities across the state.
