Your landlord generally has 30 days in Texas to return your security deposit after they receive your written forwarding address. DepositsBack.app helps you take the next step: a state-specific security deposit notice sent by USPS Certified Mail, with tracking that stays attached to your case. This page summarizes general information from Tex. Prop. Code § 92.109 and official state sources.
The general deadline is 30 days. A landlord must return a security deposit within 30 days after the lease ends and the tenant moves out.
You may still be able to send a notice. We show general state information and official sources so you can review your situation and decide your next step.
The Complete Case Bundle includes your notices, USPS Certified Mail history, case summary, evidence checklist, attorney handoff sheet, and official state resources — all in one downloadable ZIP.
In Texas, the 30-day deadline starts when your landlord receives your written forwarding address. If that deadline passes without a return of your deposit or itemized deductions, your records — DepositsBack.app notice, USPS Certified Mail delivery confirmation, and any response uploaded to your case — document the timeline. You can review your situation alongside Tex. Prop. Code § 92.109 and official state resources, and decide whether to consult a Texas attorney or proceed with self-help next steps.
