[TX] How do I sue for withholding a security deposit?

My landlords are withholding my security deposit. They withheld my entire $2,600. We did not document the move out. Our lease ended on 3/31. We moved most of our stuff out on 3/28. They asked us on 3/28 if they need to move out our stuff for us. And we told them no, we aren't done moving and cleaning. They began cleaning and repairs on 3/28. We had also told them in our email that we would like to do a walkthrough. We told them this in our notice that we are not renewing our lease in January. We agreed on a walkthrough on 3/30. When we arrived, a lot was already cleaned and repaired. So we didn't see a point in taking pictures.
