Oxford at Sonterra

I rented a 2 bedroom unit at Oxford at Sonterra in 2026 with my family of 5 (with minors) and would not rent here again under any circumstances.
In 2026 I reported physical mold and a chemical odor in the unit. Oxford immediately blamed my family for two in-wall leaks with no visible water; meaningful action only came after I hand-delivered formal written notice under Texas Property Code § 92.052 on May 11. The "remediation" that followed only included spraying, wiping, and applying spray paint directly over visibly affected drywall. Any additional action came only after pushback and required written follow-up. Management even sent me a letter representing the unit as safe for me and minor children to move in the day after (24 hours)!
Seeing their intent to hide the problem, I retained at my own expense a TDLR-licensed Mold Assessment Consultant. An AIHA-accredited laboratory tested air and surface samples. Findings on kitchen surfaces: Heavy Stachybotrys, Heavy Chaetomium, and Heavy Aspergillus/Penicillium. Indoor Aspergillus/Penicillium levels measured ~91× the outdoor reference. Chaetomium, a water-damage indicator species, was present indoors and absent outdoors. The protocol concluded the work was incomplete and inadequate, requiring further remediation to industry standards.
I terminated the lease under Texas Property Code § 92.056(e)(1) and (f) and moved out at the end of May (get familiar with those statutes if you find yourself in this position).
If you are renting here or have to, especially with children or anyone with respiratory concerns: request the unit's specific repair history in writing before signing; hire your own TDLR-licensed assessor if you see, smell, or suspect any water issue rather than trusting on in-house "remediation"; keep every interaction in writing; photograph everything with timestamps.
The independent lab findings are documented. The fully repaired letter is documented. The gap between them is documented. Future tenants deserve to know.
