Q: Am I liable for damages if my landlord failed to send me itemized deductions within 30 days of surrendering property?

A: Okay, let's break this down based on the information you have provided:

- You are located in Texas.

- You surrendered your rental property and did not receive your security deposit back or an itemized list of deductions from the deposit within 30 days, as required by Texas law.

- You sent a demand letter to the landlord requesting the return of your full security deposit due to their failure to comply with the 30-day deadline.

- The landlord responded after the 30 days with invoices and pictures documenting damages, and offered to split the deposit with you.

Given these circumstances, here are the key points:

- In Texas, landlords are required by law to return a tenant's security deposit or provide an itemized deduction list within 30 days after move-out. Failure to do so forfeits their right to withhold any amount.

- By not providing the deposit or deduction list within 30 days, your landlord lost the legal right to withhold any amount of your deposit, even if damages occurred. Their after-the-fact response does not reinstate their right.

- You have a strong claim to recover your full deposit amount, despite the landlord's late documentation of damages. Their failure to meet the 30-day deadline means you are not liable for any alleged damages.

- The landlord's offer to split the deposit has no legal bearing - you have the right to recover the full amount based on their non-compliance with the law.

So in summary, you do not appear to be liable for any alleged damages given the landlord's failure to provide timely documentation. You can continue pursuing action to recover your full security deposit.
