Guarantor release letter (Dallas-Fort Worth landlord)
Legal advice recommended before use.
Under Tex. Prop. Code § 92.021, a lease guarantor's liability is generally limited to the original lease term unless the guaranty specifically states otherwise for a renewal. Even when a guarantor's obligation has already ended by its terms, a written release avoids any future confusion — for the guarantor's own records, and for yours.

Frequently asked questions
When does a Texas lease guarantor's obligation normally end?
Under Tex. Prop. Code § 92.021, a guarantor is liable only for the original lease term unless the guaranty itself, in writing, specifically extends coverage to a renewal with no rent increase and the same parties.
Why send a release letter if the guaranty already ended by its own terms?
It creates a clear, dated written record for both sides — useful if there's ever a dispute later about whether the guarantor's obligation had actually ended, or if the guarantor needs proof for their own records (for example, when applying for other credit).
Can a landlord and guarantor agree to end a guaranty early, before the lease term ends?
Yes, if both agree — ordinary Texas contract law allows the parties to modify or terminate the guaranty by written agreement, separate from the statutory term limit in § 92.021.
