Can renters (legally) break lease if sex offender moves into neighborhood?

I am reading up on TX landlord/tenant laws and something caught me off guard. I can't seem to find a clear answer: If a family is renting my SFH and then a registered sex offender moves into neighboring home, can my renters legally break lease and move (for reason of proximity of offender)?

Have any landlords been in this or similar situation?
