Thanks for all the great advice, Y'all have given me several good ideas to follow up on.
Charging that last month's rent up front is a good idea, its just not very commonly done in my market area.
Do you think they are still in Texas or do you think they could be anywhere in the country. Do you have a teleplhone number or email for them. If they are dumb as bricks you could ask for them for their forwarding address to send the remainder of their security back.

Ha Ha creative idea. I'm pretty sure they are still in Texas. I have a phone number for one of their employers, I could try that.
Do they still work there? Why don't you serve them at work? Also consider hiring someone(a PI or an amateur) to follow them home from work.
I thought it might be illegal to serve them at work. I will find out. I believe I read that it is illegal for a debt collector to bother them at work. But that may not apply to being served.

I am pretty sure it is not illegal to serve at work but I am not a lawyer so should look into it further. Maybe they are referring to slandering them, letting their superior knows about debts etc. Though like I said I'm not an attorney and I'm not sure.
A Court Marshall or otherwise licensed process server can legally serve someone at their place of business.
I disagree with poster okaydorothy's advice to forget about it. It's what so many people do and thus enables these recidivists to carry on doing the same thing to others.
Serving someone, getting a court date and having a judgement rendered in your favor does not necessarily mean that you will collect what's owed to you but that judgement certainly follows the debtor and messes him up big time in the future where his credit is concerned. Karma is precious.

I could not agree more. If they did it once and got away with it, they will probably do it again if there are no consequences.
