It is unseemly that a landlord can charge a tenant for other than the items listed in the lease.
You can pay them and take your landlord to landlord-tenant court for reimbursement, or you can approach a landlord-tenant advocacy to find the answer that you want.

Can you get an apartment if your emancipated in Texas?
Good question. A person must be 18 to sign a contract in Texas, but emancipation may change that situation. Any realtor should be able to find the answer for you. There are plenty in Texas. You would probably stand a better chance of getting an apartment from a private landlord than an apartment complex. Check with the realtor.

In Texas can a landlord enter the house without permission?
In almost any state a landlord can enter the premises if there is good cause (leaking pipes, electrical problems, etc;) Your landlord should make an effort to contact you first but regardless of your consent, the landlord may go in and inspect if there is a potential hazard to the building or other tenants. It is important to remember that while your landlord owns the property, you, as a renter retain temporal eminence (meaning that you are the temporary owner). However, the landlord has a right to look after his/her long term interests. If the landlord feels that you have violated the terms of the lease, let's say that your contract forbids a water bed in the apartment unit and your neighbor below is complaining of water leaking through the ceiling; the landlord attempts to contact you by phone but you do not answer. In this case the landlord has the obligation to the one tenant complaining of water leaking through the ceiling by entering your apartment to find the cause. Like most legal matters the situation is governed by the "reasonable-ness" of the case. Your landlord cannot enter your apartment to look around, to open your drawers or inspect the quality of your furniture or even to make sure you are in compliance of the terms of the lease, that would be a violation of your right of privacy. It would be reasonable to presume that if your lease stated that you may not have a dog as a pet for any period of time and the landlord hears barking in your apartment, he /she may enter because the barking would make it reasonable to believe that there is a dog in the apartment.
