Hanging paintings with nails is typically considered part of legally defined normal wear-and-tear. If your landlord is getting angry at you using the place you're renting in a reasonable manner, than perhaps you're renting from the wrong people.

So, that seems to be an open question in Texas. The Texas law leaves a lot up to interpretation, so reversing charges for nail holes would require suing your landlord. I'm not sure, but I think the situations in Florida and Virginia are similar.
