Tenant Security Deposit Accounting, Gift Card Phishing Scams, Unrecorded Deeds & LLC Member Disputes

This week on the Weekly Docket, join Phil and Chris as they examine a notable JP court interpretation regarding landlord security deposit accounting timelines under Texas Property Code § 92.109(d). They break down the legal distinction between delivering a timely accounting notice within 30 days versus disbursing actual refund checks, highlighting the practical impacts on both tenants and property managers. They then step into cybersecurity, analyzing sophisticated email phishing tactics and gift card impersonation schemes targeting business professionals. Next, they handle a complex real estate title dispute involving a 10-year-old unrecorded deed, unpaid property taxes, Tax Code § 32.07 liability, and Texas Property Code § 13.001 rules governing subsequent purchasers and quiet title actions. Finally, they address small business litigation dynamics, sharing practical strategies for removing a rogue member from an LLC operating without an agreement and protecting operating accounts during corporate dissolutions.  ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 Intro3:46  Landlords: Do You REALLY Have to Mail the Check Within 30 Days?8:06 Watch Out!
