Texas tenants win damages and legal fees after landlord keeps $2,600 deposit

In a recent Texas court case, a landlord's attempt to retain a couple's security deposit, along with demands for extra payments post-move-out, was contested. The tenants triumphed, though the court adjusted some damage estimates. Texas statutes mandate landlords to avoid withholding deposits for usual wear and tear and to furnish detailed deductions. The ruling underlines the necessity for landlords to adhere to security deposit regulations strictly.
