A: Chapter 92 of the Texas Property Code describes the proper way to break a lease in a domestic violence situation. If you didn't take that path, you might find release through Rule 76a of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure but it will be an uphill struggle because the presumption is that court records should be public.
