WHY ARE YOU NOT TAKING THESE PEOPLE TO COURT??!!
BY LAW, MANAGEMENT HAS TO TELL THE RESIDENTS ABOUT CRIME THAT HAPPENS ON THEIR PROPERTY BY LAW!
YOU CAN ALSO SUE THE OWNER OF THE DOG WHO HAD A DANGEROUS DOG OFF A LEASH.
CALL ANIMAL CONTROL IN ADDISON AND TELL THEM ABOUT THE DOG OFF A LEASH AND THE DOG BITE.
DO IT NOW!
WAKE UP AND TAKE CONTROL OF THIS SITUATION!
GET A LAWYER! THIS IS A SLAM DUNK AND YOU WILL WIN.

You need to sue them. They were required to provide you with locking windows when you moved in. SUE THEM NOW.
Link here for the how to sue:
http://www.texastenant.org/rights/locks/forms/locks-pet 92.153. Security Devices Required Without Necessity of Tenant Request
(a) Except as provided by Subsections (b), (e), (f), (g), and (h) and without necessity of request by the tenant, a dwelling must be equipped with:
(1) a window latch on each exterior window of the dwelling;
(2) a doorknob lock or keyed dead bolt on each exterior door;
(3) a sliding door pin lock on each exterior sliding glass door of the dwelling;
(4) a sliding door handle latch or a sliding door security bar on each exterior sliding glass door of the dwelling; and
(5) a keyless bolting device and a door viewer on each exterior door of the dwelling.
http://www.texastenant.org/rights/ for Failing to Provide or Repair Security Device
The form is ready to be downloaded in the following formats for filing in the justice court (also known as the Justice of the Peace or JP court):
(PDF Form: 78 KB / 1 page) or
(Rich Text Format for word processor: 29 KB / 1 page)
PDF stands for Portable Document Format click the icon above to download and install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
How to fill in the blanks in the form:
1 The first blank at the top of the form is the Case Number. When you file the case, the court clerk will assign a number to the case and write that number at the top. You do not need to fill that blank in prior to filing the case.
2 On the right side at the top is the court information. Put the County you are filing suit in the blank and put which Precinct and Place of the justice court you are filing the suit in (e.g., Precinct 1, Place 2, Dallas County, Texas).
Each county often has more than one JP court, so the county is divided into two or more precincts. The easiest way to find out which precinct you are in, is to call one of them nearby and give them the address of the property you are leasing. The court clerk will then tell you which precinct the property is in. For precincts with large populations, more than one JP court is assigned to a precinct. In these precincts, each JP court is assigned a different "Place number." You are allowed to file the case in any "Place" in your precinct. So if there is more than one JP court in your precinct, pick the court that is easy to get to or the one that is friendliest to tenants.
3 Since you are bringing the suit first, you are the Plaintiff. Put your name in the blank for Plaintiff on the left side, and again in the Parties section of the form petition.
4 The landlord is the Defendant. This is probably not the manager of the property. It is best to sue the owner of the property. You have a right to know the name and address of the owner of the property. See Ownership for details on obtaining this information. Often a business entity owns the property (like a corporation, or a limited partnership). If the owner is a business entity, list the entity as the Defendant in the suit and put the name in the blank for Defendant at the top and in the Parties section of the form petition.
5 The address of the Defendant in the Parties section of the form petition needs to be filled in as well. This is the address that a constable will go to serve the Defendant with court papers. So, try to get the correct address and completely list it. The easier it is for the constable to serve the court papers, the faster your case will be heard. You are entitled to know the address of the owner of the property. As we stated above, it is best to sue the owner of the property.
6 The last area to be filled in the body of the form petition is a listing of the security devices that were not provided or repaired. If you are suing for failure to repair, you should have given written notice first about the problem before filing suit.
7 Then sign your name at the bottom. Print your name, complete address and phone number below your signature.
Finally, read over the form and make sure it has been filled out completely. Then make two copies of the signed form and take them, with the original to the justice court for filing. The court will keep the original, keep one copy to serve on the Defendant and return one to you with a file stamp for your records. For more information on proceeding with the case, see Sue Your Landlord.

No matter what happens here it's not their fault and that's the first thing out of their mouth. Even if you are just informing them of a problem they start their sleazy little dance to squirm out of reponsiblity.
It would be funny if it weren't so serious. They are really screwing with people's lives. This summer we have these gangs of big teenagers roaming around. They took my charcoal and threw it all around and turned over my barbeque grill.
These roaming packs of teenagers are really scary.
