You can go to your public library and check out Nolo's books on Landlords and Tenants or go to the Texas gov website and look for Texas Property Code Chapter 92 pertaining to rental property.
There are lots of sites you can use to screen potential tenant background and credits. You'll need to setup and document your criteria to approve tenant to protect yourself against discrimination. Make your criteria doesn't violate The Fair Housing Act.

Good luck.
