Texas commercial leases are governed by Chapter 93 of the Texas Property Code. Landlords have a statutory right to lock out tenants for non-payment of rent, but must post a written notice on the tenant's front door explaining how to obtain a new key (Tex. Prop. Code § 93.002).
Security deposits must be returned within 60 days of the tenant vacating (Tex. Prop. Code § 93.005).
