Old Texas Landlord law?

[DG H.]

A few years ago if a tenant owed you rent or damaged your property you could enter the premises and “hold” certain items. It’s an old law I believe but was still could be used. It’s so old you couldn’t take their goat. You CAN take their big screen TV! Score!

Any one out there in Texas know if this is still on the books for us? 

I am so over getting hammered by tenants and the laws that protect them….with us taking all the hits.
