Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Texas
I have been leasing a house and during the middle of the lease the owners got foreclosed on and was told to start paying the bank. Who is now responsible in giving me my deposit back when the lease it up?

The previous owners have your deposit (unless they transferred it to the bank which is unlikely.) Given they lost their home, it is unlikely you will see it. You will have to sue them in small claims court when your lease is up if the money isn't returned to you.
