Plano landlords must follow Texas Property Code 92.103, returning a tenant's security deposit within 30 days of move-out along with an itemized list of any deductions for damages beyond ordinary wear and tear. Plano has no separate local security-deposit ordinance.
Section 92.103 governs all residential leases statewide, preempting local variation. The landlord must mail or deliver the refund and a written deduction list within 30 days after the tenant surrenders the unit and provides a forwarding address in writing. Bad-faith retention exposes the landlord to triple damages plus 100 dollars plus reasonable attorney fees under Section 92.109. Cleaning charges are deductible only when the lease specifies cleaning standards or when soil exceeds normal wear. Pet deposits are generally treated as security deposits unless the lease labels them non-refundable.
Bad-faith retention triggers triple damages plus a 100-dollar penalty plus attorney fees; failure to provide an itemized list forfeits the right to withhold any portion.
