What is the name of your state? Tx

Back in 95 i was convicted felon served 4 and a half years in prison and have been on parole for 4 years now..never a problem..I LEARNED FROM MY MISTAKES!!!! Anyways I currently moved into a apartment never lied on the app...have you ever been convicted of a felony...Yes i checked it... i explaned to the woman i had been convicted on a few charges ect ect she stated we will have to run a background check...ok (they all do it anyways) 2 days later she called said i had been approved so i tell my P.O. I move in sign 1 year lease in for about a week my P.O.calls to verifiy thats its ok even though i showed her the lease..Talks to the manager who flips out saying she was not aware blah,blah...I guess my P.O. told her my life storie..so now my P.O. says the manager told her its under review...WTF????
So I talked to the manager today to find out what is going on...She tells me that she had called the apt attorney to see what to do she will get back with me later.....

Bottom line...they screwed up!!! I signed the lease i told them i had been convicted of a felony they did a background check i think?
Can they kick me out because they screwed up????

Thanks Shane..I know it's long.......sorry
