I am writing to you as a former tenant of [Property Address] in Abilene, Texas, regarding the matter of my security deposit. As you are aware, I vacated the premises on [Move-out Date], and the lease agreement between us expired.

Unfortunately, it has been more than 30 days since I moved out, and I have not received my security deposit or any communication from you regarding its return. This failure to comply with the law is concerning and requires immediate attention. Consequently, I hereby demand the full return of my security deposit in the amount of [Deposit Amount] without further delay.
