Short answer
Texas has detailed statutory requirements for certain security devices. A standard lock change is not a substitute for checking the property-specific rules.
What to do next
Inventory doors and windows, verify required devices and record installation and rekey dates.
Save the current lease, dated messages, receipts and any property-specific evidence together. A useful record shows what happened, when it happened and which document or rule you relied on.
Check the source
Rules may change and the right answer can depend on the home, city, lease and timing. Review the current official material before signing, charging a fee, sending a notice or making a legal decision.
