No.
You signed the lease.
You are bound by its terms.

You can ASK your landlord to let you out of your lease, but s/he doesn't have to agree.

That's life as a grownup.
Get used to it.

This is why I love recessions.
Every time we have one, the great American middle class gets an education.

Ya, you're probably no doubt going to lose your deposit. Your landlord may have some sympathy though...who knows. There is a website for tenant rights. Google it.

Maybe. There are indeed several provisions that allow tenant to terminate lease without liability - family violence and military service. Search 'termina' just like that to highlight all provisions regarding termination of lease in the Texas Property Code http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/docs/PR/content/htm/pr.008.00.000092.00.htm to see if you meet the requirements. O/w, one always imagines Texans to be generous folk. Why not contact landlord to explain the unexpected, reduced circs and offer to maintain the apt to a standard appropriate for viewing by subsequent tenants s/he may schedule at her/his convenience. You give something up, maybe you'll cut a break.
