The landlord-tenant relationship is one of the most complicated legal relationships under Texas law. The Texas Property Code contains numerous provisions that operate in addition to the terms of your contract and others that even override terms of your contract if they are inconsistent with the Property Code.

If you are a tenant and are in default under the terms of your contract, you should contact us immediately to discuss your options. There may be a way for you to keep possession of your premises. If your landlord has evicted you, removed your possessions or has locked you out of your premises or disconnected utility services, you may be entitled to damages including the payment of your attorney’s fees and one month’s rent.

If the property is in an unsafe condition, you are required by the Property Code to repair it in a specific manner or you may forfeit your right to recover any money you spend fixing the property.

If your landlord has failed to return your security deposit, you may be entitled to damages as well as attorney’s fees. Your initial consultation is free.
