Can my apartment complex lock me out of my apartment without going to court?

I'm a member. You need talk to someone at the Texas Tenant Union.Explain your situation to them and they'll be able to help. From what I know is closed on the weekends but have free worshops on Wesnesdays and you can join to be a member if you would like that same night. The workshop starts at 6:30 sharp on Wednesday. Thanks

They can change the lock for nonpayment, but they have to give you a copy of the key whether you pay the rent or not. If they refuse to let you back in, you can get a "writ of reentry" and sue. See: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PR/htm/PR.92.htm#92.0081 and https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PR/htm/PR.92.htm#92.009 They have to take you to court in order to evict you.
