Security Deposit Disputes

Your Money. Your Rights. Don’t Let a Landlord Keep What’s Yours.

You worked hard to pay your rent and security deposit.
Now that you’ve moved out, your landlord is refusing to return your money—or making unfair deductions that don’t add up.

  • Maybe they’re blaming you for “damage” that’s really just normal wear and tear.
  • Maybe they’ve ignored the 30-day deadline to return your deposit.
  • Maybe they’ve kept it without giving you a valid written explanation.

Whatever the excuse, you don’t have to accept it. Texas law protects tenants from unfair security deposit practices—and the Law Office of Bryan Fagancan help you enforce your rights.

Texas Security Deposit Law Protects Tenants

Under the Texas Property Code, landlords must:
  • Return your security deposit within 30 days after you move out.
  • Provide a written, itemized list of deductions if they withhold any money.
  • Only deduct for actual damages, not normal wear and tear.
If they don’t follow the law, you may be entitled to:
  • Return of your full deposit
  • Additional damages (sometimes up to three times the wrongfully withheld amount)
  • Attorney’s fees
At the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, we know how to hold landlords accountable—and make sure you don’t get taken advantage of.
