Pending · County Court at Law No. 3, Lubbock County, Texas · Cause No. CC-2026-CV-1124

Luke T. Henry and Jacob A. Henry v. Gafford Properties, LLC

Two tenants surrendered a Lubbock rental at the end of the lease term. Four weeks later the landlord withheld part of their security deposit in a single bundled charge: carpet cleaning in a house with no carpet, nail-hole repair the lease expressly permits, and replacement of an air filter the landlord's own technician had installed days earlier. The petition seeks the statutory remedies for a deposit withheld in bad faith under Chapter 92 of the Property Code.

Sending this does not create an attorney-client relationship. What I send is reviewed first only to the extent needed to check conflicts, is not confidential until an engagement is agreed in writing, and I should not send privileged material before then.

JavaScript is off, so this form posts the old way and you will land on a plain confirmation page. If that fails, email jhenry@jhenrylaw.com with the document attached.

Read by John P. Henry. An AI service under a commercial agreement extracts and summarizes submissions so they can be reviewed the same day. It does not train on what is sent, and the provider deletes inputs and outputs within thirty days. Nothing it generates is sent to you — every reply you get is written by a lawyer. If you are opposing counsel, or a party represented by counsel, do not use this form.

What we keep
We keep what you send us, including if we don't end up taking your matter. We don't delete it on a schedule — removing a file is a deliberate decision, not an automatic one.

If you'd like what you sent removed, write to us and ask. We'll tell you what we can and can't remove, and why.

Prefer email? jhenry@jhenrylaw.com with the document attached works exactly as well.
