Texas· Answer
Must a Texas landlord provide an itemized statement of deductions?
Short answer
Yes. If the landlord withholds any portion of the deposit, Texas requires a written itemized statement listing each deduction and its amount within 30 days of move-out, under Tex. Prop. Code 92.103. Written description and itemized list of deductions required (92.104) Presumption of bad faith if neither deposit nor itemization is delivered within 30 days (92.108)

Honest limits
This is an informational answer based on Tex. Prop. Code 92.103 as of early 2026. It is not legal advice. Housing law changes year to year and local ordinances (especially in rent-controlled or rent-stabilized cities) can override or add to state law. For contested cases, consult a Texas-licensed attorney.
