Requiring Tenants to pay for repairs below a specific amount

[Val J.]

I recently  met a landlord who told me that she requires her tenants to pay for repairs let's say for example under ( $250).  I live in the DFW area and this person's property is in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas.  In the back of my mind I wondered is this legal? What are your thoughts? Any of you do this or something similar?

@Val Jaz sounds like a great way to turn small repairs into large repairs
