Hard, but not impossible.
Can you leave a large deposit? If you can, it may be enough to put the landlord at ease about renting you a place. Otherwise, it will be very difficult as they will risk not being paid.

Do like I did, save up your money, then offer 2 months worth of security deposit plus first month's rent should get you in the door. If you make your payments on time for a whole year on a 1 year lease agreement and decide to stay for another year, your landlord may use half or all of one month's worth of the security deposit and apply it towards rent due for the following month so you won't have to pay for a full month's worth towards rent, but you'll have to ask your landlord first.

Broken lease in Houston, by itself, no big deal. Bankruptcy is...
Try to find an owner to lease from, or even lease purchase.
No apartment management companies, find an owner to lease from, take good care of his place.

Some places will let you rent but you have to put down a really big security deposit and you may need your parents to co-sign for you.
