Founding member pricing for eviction tools: locking $149 for life

Founding member eviction pricing is a waitlist rate lock on the Document Organizer fee: $149 per case, held for the life of that founding-member relationship after public list pricing rises. Court fees and third-party fees stay on separate invoices. The offer is a price promise, not a fake countdown clock, a vanishing seat count, or a bundled eviction that includes the clerk, the constable, or a lawyer.

Eviction Wizard helps landlords organize eviction documents, submit through the court's e-filing system, request a process server, and track every deadline — in one dashboard. Eviction Wizard AI Partners, LLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

Key takeaways

• Founding members lock a $149 Document Organizer fee per case for life. As of 2026 that is the waitlist rate; list pricing is stated to rise after launch.
• Court fees and third-party fees — Justice of the Peace (JP) filing, e-filing service, process-server invoices, constable citation, writ fees, attorney retainers — stay outside the $149 line.
• You build the case free and pay the organizer fee only when you file. Joining the waitlist does not charge $149.
• The lock is a per-case rate, not one payment for unlimited cases, and not a promise that your county is live.
• Typical attorney fees are commonly reported at $1,500–$3,000 (sometimes cited $1,500–$5,000). Typical eviction-service companies are often cited around $475.
• Texas launch is county by county. Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada are next and not live. Property-manager bulk filing, team seats, and portfolio guardrails are coming.

What founding member eviction pricing actually locks

Landlords shopping eviction software pricing usually meet two bad frames: a monthly subscription that bills whether or not you have a case, and a “complete eviction” sticker that quietly excludes the clerk, the officer, and counsel. Founding member eviction pricing is neither. It is a per-case Document Organizer rate of $149, locked for founding members for life, with every court and third-party charge on its own invoice.

“For life” means the organizer rate stays $149 per case after the public list price rises. It does not mean one payment covers every future case, that the court stops charging filing fees, or that a process server, constable, or attorney works for $149. Each case still carries its own organizer fee at the locked rate when you file that case. A portfolio with four concurrent files should expect four organizer fees, plus four stacks of court and third-party charges.

The waitlist is the enrollment path, not a checkout. As of 2026 the live site is a waitlist: Texas first, county by county, because precinct maps, portals, and fee schedules differ. You join with an email. You are not buying a case or prepaying a filing. You are asking to be notified when your county opens, and to hold the founding rate if you become a founding member.

The $149 line is priced for organization: state-specific notice options populated for your review; a filing packet from court form templates; e-filing you authorize; tracking through service, hearing, judgment, appeal, and writ; and deadline alerts. A form-filler PDF, a property-management (PM) notice button, and an attorney retainer are different purchases. The lifecycle is notice, deliver, notice period, file, citation, hearing, judgment, appeal, writ, possession. If a cheaper product stops at “packet downloaded,” you are comparing a form to a case file.

You review, confirm, and authorize. You remain the filer.

Why a waitlist should not run fake scarcity theater

Waitlist pages in software marketing often borrow retail tricks: a countdown that resets at midnight, a “spots left” badge with no inventory behind it, invented social proof. Those tactics train landlords to distrust the price. Founding member eviction pricing should not need them.

A real waitlist exists because the product is not live in every county. Texas justice courts do not share one filing desk. Precinct lines, e-filing habits, and fee schedules change at the county — and often at the precinct. Launching county by county is an operations fact, not a promo calendar. Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada are listed as next and are not live. This article will not invent a go-live week for any of them.

What the site states, without a timer, is the rate logic: founding members lock $149 for life, and pricing rises after launch. That is a price path, not a disappearing inventory. There is no published seat cap, customer count, or study that assigns a later dollar figure. If a later page invents those numbers, treat that as marketing, not as the locked facts.

Honest limits are geographic: your county may not be open, and a precinct helper is still “based on the information you provided,” not a guarantee. None of that is solved by a clock.

Fake scarcity also hides the fee stack. A banner that says “lock $149 now” without naming JP filing fees, e-filing service fees, and third-party invoices is a bundled-eviction ad. The honest version is: lock the organizer rate; still budget the court, service, and counsel. This is the waitlist chapter of eviction software pricing. Join if you expect more than one case and want the organizer line stable — not if you were told $149 is the all-in cost of possession.

What the $149 fee includes and what it never includes

Price confusion is how landlords buy the wrong object. An attorney retainer, an eviction-service invoice, a court filing fee, and a document-organizer fee are not substitutes. The founding lock applies only to the organizer.

What $149 is built to cover is the organizer work: state-specific notice options populated for your review; a filing packet from court form templates; e-filing you authorize; tracking through service, hearing, judgment, appeal, and writ; and deadline alerts. That scope is the same at the founding rate or a later list rate. The lock changes the organizer number. It does not pull the court onto the invoice.

What $149 does not cover should be listed as plainly as what it does. Texas JP filing fees are commonly reported in the tens of dollars and vary by county. Writ fees are commonly reported around $150–$200. Those are public-source ranges, not a promise for your precinct. E-filing portals, process servers, constable citation, optional completeness review, and hearing representation each invoice separately.

Line item	Who typically invoices it	Inside the locked $149?
Document Organizer ($149/case; founding members lock $149 for life)	Eviction Wizard	Yes — the locked rate
Court filing fee (JP petition)	The court / clerk	No — commonly reported in the tens of dollars in Texas
E-filing service fee	The portal / e-filing provider	No
Process-server invoice (notice delivery)	The independent server you request	No
Constable / sheriff citation	The county / officer	No — not replaced by a private server request
Writ of possession fee	The court / officer	No — commonly reported around $150–$200 in Texas
Attorney representation	Independent counsel	No — commonly reported $1,500–$3,000; sometimes cited $1,500–$5,000
Eviction-service company	The service vendor	No — often cited around $475
Optional packet review for completeness	Independent attorney	No

Build the case free. Pay the organizer fee when you file. You should not pay $149 to join a list. Court and third-party amounts should appear before you approve them. Founding-member math is locked organizer plus court plus third parties, per case — not “$149 versus $1,500” with the other rows deleted.

How to prepare a case file from the lease while you wait

A waitlist is useful only if the file you will later upload is already clean. The facts that must be right are tenant name, property address, rent amount, and lease dates.

Work the file in this order even if your county is not live.

1. Collect the source documents. Signed lease, rent or occupant addenda, payment ledger, and every prior notice.
2. Confirm tenant name. Use the lease name for every adult tenant you intend to name. A nickname in PM software is not a petition caption.
3. Confirm property address. Street, unit, city, and county. In Texas, the address is also how a precinct / JP helper later proposes a court — based on the information you provided, not a guarantee.
4. Confirm rent amount. Monthly rent and the unpaid period. If the ledger and the lease disagree, fix that before a form repeats it.
5. Confirm lease dates. Start date, end date, and whether the tenancy continued month-to-month. Notice language and petition recitals follow those dates.
6. Name the ground, then stop if it is unclear. Unpaid rent, holdover, and other defaults are different Texas paths. If the only issue might be unpaid rent, read the first-delinquency rule in Texas Property Code section 24.005 before you pick a notice form. Check the lease. Consult a Texas attorney.
7. Record how you delivered any notice you already sent. Senate Bill 38 (SB 38) lists in-person delivery to an occupant 16 or older, mail, conspicuous posting, and electronic delivery only if agreed in writing. See Texas SB 38. This article does not call any method sufficient for your facts.
8. Join the waitlist without paying $149. The founding lock is a rate, not a prepaid case. Keep the four fields and the proof in one folder.
9. When the county is live, upload the lease. Extraction may place tenant name, property address, rent amount, and lease dates into the selected forms. Extraction is a clerk. You are the reviewer.
10. Review, confirm, and authorize only when you are ready to be the filer. Pay the locked organizer fee when you file. Approve court and third-party charges on their own lines.

A founding-member rate does not fix a wrong tenant name. It keeps the organizer invoice from moving while you review.

How a locked organizer rate compares to other eviction spends

Put the other common spends in the same table and refuse to pretend they buy the same thing.

Attorney representation is the right purchase when the case needs strategy, a contested hearing, an appeal, or an entity-representation question you should not guess. Typical attorney fees are commonly reported at $1,500–$3,000, and some public comparisons cite $1,500–$5,000. That range is not a bid. A locked $149 organizer fee does not replace that work. The Attorney Directory is how you hire an independent attorney — not an employee or agent of the software company — for advice or optional completeness review.

Eviction-service companies are often cited around $475. Coverage varies by vendor. If you want someone else to run the file, that invoice may be the honest buy. If you want to keep the file and lock the organizer rate, you are not shopping the same category.

Form-fillers and DIY kits are the cheap early stage. A PDF notice is not a sworn petition, a precinct check, or a writ reminder. LegalZoom vs eviction software is the category comparison for landlords sold a document when they needed a case dashboard. This article does not restate another company’s public price list. Compare the lifecycle stage you are actually buying.

Purchase	What you are usually buying	What a $149 founding lock does not replace
Founding Document Organizer	Packet, authorized e-filing, deadline tracking	Court, officers, counsel
Attorney retainer	Advice, strategy, appearances	Nothing — hire when the case needs a lawyer
Eviction-service invoice	Vendor-run coordination, often cited ~$475	Your control of the case file, unless that is what you want
Form-filler / DIY PDF kit	A download	Filing, citation, hearing, appeal, writ
PM suite subscription	Ledgers, unit status, sometimes a notice button	A dedicated notice-to-writ file

Join the waitlist if you expect to file more than once and want the organizer line stable. Do not skip counsel on a contested file, and do not budget $149 as the cost of possession.

How Eviction Wizard handles this

The waitlist and the founding lock are the same offer the pricing section already states: founding members lock $149 for life; pricing rises after launch; court fees and third-party service fees are separate and paid independently; amounts are shown before you approve them. There is no checkout on the waitlist page and no invented seat counter.

You build the case first. You pay the Document Organizer fee when you file. Upload the lease. The tool extracts tenant name, property address, rent amount, and lease dates into the forms you selected. You review and edit.

Enter the property address. For Texas properties, the helper proposes the precinct and JP court commonly associated with that location, with typical filing-fee context and e-filing portal information, framed as based on the information you provided. You confirm the court. The helper is not a guarantee.

When the packet is ready, you submit through the court’s e-filing system from the same file. You review, confirm, and authorize. You remain the filer. Case number and hearing information return to the dashboard.

Request a process server in the same dashboard. Browse independent process servers and track acceptance through proof of service. That request does not replace court-directed citation service.

If you want counsel, use the Attorney Directory. Those attorneys are independent. You can add optional attorney review of the packet for completeness before you authorize filing. Completeness review is not representation at the hearing.

Tracking stays on after the stamp: service, hearing, judgment, appeal, and writ, with deadline alerts at each stage. Launch is Texas first, county by county. Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada are next. Bulk filing, team seats, and portfolio guardrails for property managers are coming. The founding lock holds the organizer number at $149 per case after list pricing moves. The next step is the waitlist, not a countdown.

Texas county launch and the 2026 rules founding members will file under

Most founding members on this waitlist are Texas landlords. The lock is a price fact; the filing rules are statute and court rule.

Texas SB 38 (89th Legislature) applies to eviction suits filed on or after January 1, 2026. Rule 510 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure is the specialized rule. This section reports those mechanics. It is not legal advice. Check the lease. Consult a Texas attorney.

Topic	What Chapter 24 / Rule 510 describe as of 2026	What $149 does not decide
Notice delivery	In-person to occupant 16+, mail, conspicuous posting; electronic only if written agreement	Sufficiency of your method
First unpaid-rent late	Notice to pay rent or vacate before a standard notice to vacate	Whether your ledger is first-time
Notice period	Default three days unless the lease says otherwise; Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) 30-day notice for covered properties; §24.0042 day counting	Your filing date
Petition	Sworn petition initiates the suit (§24.00505)	The truth of what you swear
Venue	JP precinct of the property; wrong precinct is dismissed, not transferred	The helper’s address guess
Citation	Sheriff or constable; diligent effort by the fifth business day after filing	Private notice delivery
Trial setting	Generally 10–21 days after the petition is filed; hedge for county practice	A guaranteed hearing week
Appeal	Five-day window; SB 38 adds a sworn good-faith affirmation	Whether or how to appeal
Summary disposition	Unauthorized occupancy / forcible entry only — not routine nonpayment; occupant has four days to respond	Whether the occupant is a squatter
Writ	Only law enforcement executes it	Self-help remains illegal

E-filing portals — in many Texas counties, eFileTexas — still charge their own fees. A precinct / JP helper that uses the property address you confirmed is still “based on the information you provided.” Confirm the court against the county’s current map. Citation is not the landlord’s notice: after you authorize a sworn petition, the officer’s clock starts. A process-server request is for notice delivery you hire, not a substitute for the constable.

A dashboard that still tracks citation, trial, appeal, and writ is a different purchase from a notice PDF. The 2026 Texas eviction law changes are the provision-by-provision map. No article or software can guarantee a timeline or an outcome. Uncontested Texas evictions are commonly reported at roughly three weeks to about 75 days, depending on county and appeals.

Frequently asked questions

Does joining the waitlist charge the $149 Document Organizer fee?

No. You build the case free and pay the organizer fee only when you file. The waitlist records your email and your interest in county launch and founding-member rates. There is no checkout on the waitlist path, and there is no invented prepaid-case product in the locked facts.

Does founding member eviction pricing include court fees and process-server invoices?

No. Founding member eviction pricing locks the $149 Document Organizer fee per case. Court filing fees, e-filing service fees, process-server invoices, constable citation, writ fees, and attorney retainers are separate and paid independently. Those amounts should appear before you approve them.

What happens to the $149 lock after launch if list prices rise?

Founding members lock $149 per case for life. The public list price is stated to rise after launch. The lock holds the organizer rate; it does not freeze court schedules or third-party invoices, and it does not convert one payment into unlimited cases. This article does not invent the later list number.

Is founding member pricing a limited-time countdown or a seat cap?

No published countdown, seat inventory, or customer count is part of the locked product facts. The waitlist exists because launch is county by county. Treat timers and “spots left” badges as theater unless a later official page states a real constraint. Geographic availability is the honest limit.

Can property managers lock $149 for bulk filing and team seats?

Bulk filing, team seats, and portfolio guardrails are coming, not live. Founding-member language on the waitlist is the $149 per-case Document Organizer lock for the current landlord product. Do not budget a PM seat or a bulk-file discount that has not shipped.

Does locking $149 mean Eviction Wizard files the case or gives legal advice?

No. You remain the filer. You review, confirm, and authorize submission to the court’s e-filing system. Eviction Wizard AI Partners, LLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Optional attorney review checks completeness. Representation is a separate hire through independent counsel.

The honest bottom line on locking $149

Founding member eviction pricing is worth joining a waitlist for if you want the Document Organizer fee held at $149 per case after list pricing rises, and you understand that the clerk, the officer, and the lawyer invoice separately. It is not a bundled eviction, a fake countdown, or a substitute for Texas counsel on notice sufficiency, venue, or a contested hearing. Prepare tenant name, property address, rent amount, and lease dates from the lease now, and pay the locked organizer fee only when you file. If that is the rate you want on the next case, join the Eviction Wizard waitlist.
