someone broke into my apt (Houston: renters, insurance, home)

You might see about moving apartments within the same complex. I don't know if you are on the first floor, but maybe you'd feel safer in a second or third story apartment.

What did your manager say?

Probably not gonan get out without paying a LOT of $$. Unless you're close friends with the manager.

Someone broke into my house 2 years ago I got home and the window by my front door was broken. I went inside and saw someone run into the garage. I cornered him in the garage and just beat the sam hell out of him. The law in Texas says you can protect your property, house, life, and business with any force necessary including lethal force. I never had someone make me so mad before I knocked him out with 2 jabs to the left side of his head then i lifted him over my head and slammed him down on the concrete floor as hard as i could. I can see how you would be extremely mad I felt like I had been violated. I wanted to kill him but I couldn't because the neighbors had called the sheriff's deputy that lives across the street and he got there right after I slammed the goddamn theif on the floor. They had to take him off in an ambulance. I was mad for over a week. I was so mad I punched the front door and broke it and that 2x4 where the deadbolt is. He should have had to pay for the window and door and doorway I broke.

Sorry, but nobody here takes you seriously anymore. According to you, you beat up half of Houston
You apparently don't get it. Time that someone presses charges, if they haven't, and let HPD take care of you.
You also wanna think about getting some counseling.

LOL, you are so full of it.

Buy a handgun and shotgun, get trained on how to use them and keep them secure locked when you aren't in the house.

If anyone breaks in use the minimum amount of force according to how threatened you feel. A full clip of .45 hollowpoints should just about do it.

then come home from work, to find your guns have been stolen.---It happened to me.

They would have to be pretty dedicated to spend hours with a torch cutting through a properly mounted safe like the one I use. That's why I said 'secure locked'.
In any case given the fact that any sensible householder will have a monitored alarm I hope they do spend the time trying to break into the gun safe. That way the police can come and save me the ammunition.
I'd also advocate concealed carry that you should keep with you at all times. The law allows you to protect yourself so do it or be a victim.

We've broken two leases in our past with apartments. There's normally something in the contract that will allow you to break the lease. It's normally highly expensive. Some places ask for 2 months rent and you have to keep paying the rent on the apartment until it's re- leased. We did the samething for the same reason about 5 years ago at an upscale apartment. But we were told that it was wired for a alarm system when they weren't. We were able to use that as leverage to break the lease. Good Luck
