Is it illegal in the state of Texas to ask on a renters application if they are a US Citizen

RE: citizenship

I suppose you are asking if they are a U.S citizen by asking for their SSN. This is a discrete way of asking.

RE: citizenship

Check your local/state tenant law……. Since 2008, California Civil Code Section 1940.3 has precluded questions about immigration status, and has precluded requiring verification of citizenship in the application process for residential tenants.
