Frequently asked questions
Plain-language answers about Texas deposit receipt papers. LeaseGen.io is not a law firm. Confirm current statutes before anyone signs.
- What is a security deposit receipt in Texas?
- It records that deposit money was received, the amount, and the property. Texas does not cap how large a residential security deposit may be. After the tenant surrenders the unit and gives a written forwarding address, the landlord generally has 30 days to return the unused deposit or send an itemized list of deductions. A lease term that requires advance notice of surrender as a condition of refund is effective only if it is underlined or in conspicuous bold print.
- Is the receipt the move-out accounting?
- No. At move-out you still owe an itemized list of deductions and any refund within 30 days, to the extent Texas law requires.
- What is the deposit cap in Texas?
- No statutory cap
