    Default Re: Landlord Wrongfully Withhold Security Deposit Texas, Can Landlord Change Court Ve

    He can try to change venue; I don't see why he would succeed, given that the premises are in Galveston and he clearly does business in your county.

    Well, according to Texas property code concerning small claims court, the defendant has the right to has the right to change the venue to their location unless one of the following apply:

    15.091 Suit for Rent:
    15.092 Suit on a Contract
    15.090 Suit to Recover Personal Property

    Do any of theses apply? Can I use any of these three to make sure the case is heard in Galveston County?? Does this gaurrantee that he can not move the case to Austin??

    Thanks for any and all help you can provide me!!!

    BY the way, the house I rented is no longer for rent, he has it listed for sale. So I guess technically he is no longer doing business in Galveston county.
