Tenant left behind property after breaking lease; now what

[Paul Zofsak]

My tenant moved out suddenly and without notice.  He left behind a refrigerator, washer and dryer, and a motorcycle.  I can't remember what the law states on these matters so I am reaching out to the BP community.  The property is located in Harris county Texas.

I could sell these to recoup some of my costs for damages to the property, but I want to make sure I am handling things properly.
