Security deposit: must be returned within 30 days of move-out, with an itemized statement for deductions.
Landlord entry: No state law sets a minimum notice period — check your lease, which may require one.
Eviction: requires a court process. Self-help eviction is illegal.
Texas requires deposits be returned within 30 days. Eviction requires a 3-day notice to vacate followed by a court process (forcible detainer). No statutory entry notice requirement, but lease may specify one.
