Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

breaking apartment lease

I broke an apartment lease agreement 1 month before I was to sign a new one. The reason being I was raped in that apartment and had to move for my safety. It was my next door neighbor. Now the apartment complex is coming after me for money because I broke that lease. Do I still owe this balance? I felt my safety threatened. I made a police report and I advised the apartment complex why I was moving.
