as this is a LL site, we are geared to a forum of colleague LL's,....not discussion and advise to tenants.

however,.....your giving back possession to your LL significantly early was both gracious, generous and nice of you. As a matter of the law, typically monthly rentals are just that. A new month begins at 12:01 AM of the first day of the month, as set by the lease. So with having given proper notice of vacating, unless texas law is different, you owed the rent for the full month.

If your LL actually re-rents the premises before the month runs out,...you would probably have basis for ASKING for an adjustment. Technically, LL's are not supposed to double dip. If you and your LL had a good working relationship AND your LL wants to be a gentleman (woman) they might entertain an ''adjustment''
