The Texas Health and Safety Code stipulates that habitable homes must provide basic structural integrity, adequate sanitation, and essential utilities. The code mandates that residences be maintained in a condition that is weatherproofed, structurally sound, and sanitary.
So, a property that violates health codes likely has serious cleanliness issues that can make the rental uninhabitable. Common health hazards include pest or vermin infestations, mold, mildew, or sanitation problems. Less commonly, it could also be a lead, radon, or asbestos issue.
Lack of Essential Utilities: The absence of running water, heating during cold seasons, or consistent electricity can render a property unlivable. Presence of Toxic Materials: Asbestos, lead paint, radon, or high carbon monoxide levels will almost certainly lead to an uninhabitable house.
Examples of items that materially affect the health and safety of an ordinary tenant are sewage backups, roaches, rats, no hot water, faulty wiring, roof leaks, and, sometimes, a lack of heat or air conditioning.
You can sue for anything. Proving that the living conditions are unsafe and that the landlord is to blame and that the landlord has done nothing to mitigate the unsafe condition will require proof.

There is no state law that specifically gives tenants the right to be provided with climate control measures like air conditioning or heating.
Your landlord should make a diligent effort to repair the problem within a reasonable time after receipt of the notice. The law presumes seven days to be a reasonable time, but the landlord can rebut this presumption.
