Can a landlord in San Antonio enter whenever they want?
Generally no — except that emergencies and the lease can change the picture. Texas Property Code — residential tenancies is the Texas starting point. Write down any entry you believe was improper. No city rent board. Code enforcement plus justice court.
What if they keep coming in?
A pattern of unannounced entry can be a harassment or privacy problem. San Antonio 311 may take a complaint. Legal aid can tell you whether Texas gives a specific remedy. Do not change the locks without advice.
Does San Antonio have its own landlord-tenant code?
Texas Chapter 92 is the book. Code enforcement and 311 are the City doors. Bexar County justice court hears possession cases. Houston or Dallas rules stop at those city lines.
The San Antonio layer
