Horrible landlord experience and no move in inspection

I recently moved out of a rental property, and I just received a notice from my landlord about some ridiculous charges against my security deposit, which strangely add up to almost the exact amount of my deposit (Hmm...).  This guy was one of the worst landlords I have ever experienced and I want the BP opinion on what, if anything, I should do.

First, there was never any move in inspection of the premises, despite the fact that he told us there would be, and my reminding him that it did not happen.  This is terrible because the condition of the house upon move in was atrocious, but my wife and I had nowhere else to go.

Second, after texting him pictures of mold outbreaks in the house he simply responded with a question mark and asked me to take care of it.

I was separating from the military when I moved out, and I think he is taking advantage of the fact that I will be out of state.  He is located in Virginia and I am now located in Texas.  

If anyone has any input I would love to hear it.
