In Texas, only 30 day notice is required on a month-to-month lease. Maybe your landlord is from California or Arizona where 60 days is required? By my calculation, you would owe for 2 weeks since you told them 2 weeks ahead of time. If you don't pay, they could sue you in small claims court and get a judgment against you.
