Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Texas

Hello. I am in a lease agreement, unfortunately. My duplex got broken into and the manager of the property personally told me she knows the people who did it which is another tenant of hers who lives across the street from me. She also told me she spoke to him about the break in and made the comment "you promised me you wouldn't mess with any of my tenants." The manager of the property is a known meth addict. The people who broke in my home are also well known meth addicts and thieves. The maintenance man whom is also a meth addict, also told me that he knew who stole my gun and could have actually gotten my gun back but he chose not to. I installed cameras on my house and have the same person recorded tampering with my cameras. I am wanting to get out of my lease. I feel like it is negligence on the manager's part to knowingly know of a known thief and allow them to still stay there and not get evicted. Every day I wonder if I have to walk in on someone in my house when I come home from work, please help!! Need more advice.
Thank you!

Ask the manager to let you out of the lease. Your only other option is to report the break in to the police.
