Write a demand letter. Threaten to take him to small claims court (in Texas where he lives or the property is located) and demand your deposit back. Local legal aid can take the case on for you and the landlord would have to pay them for your attorney fees and you double or treble damages for wrongfully withholding your deposit. Having said that, do you really want to go through all that aggravation for $500? If you can get pro bono representation, it may be.

The guy wrote me and promised to send the money by March the 1st. So I might not have to go through with anything. But I appreciate all the advice..

Most legal aid places require you be in complete poverty to qualify for help on a civil case.
