Okay my roommate and I had this issue BEFORE I moved to Austin. We were living together in a two bedroom apartment, however she could not afford it once I was going to move. So we contacted our apartment and they said they typically don't allow people to sublease but if we did we had to find the people ourselves. Then it'd be a matter of them paying to complex. However if they (the subleaser) leaves I believe it's still YOUR responsibility to pay the rent. If you break a lease however it gets really expensive and usually looks bad in the future if you want to get another apartment.
Legally we were going to try to get out of our lease because they NEVER fixed our sliding glass door which could still be opened when "locked" and we were two single white females living on the ground level. Posed as a safety concern and breech of THEIR contractual terms but oh well.
If you need more advice I'll ask my former roommate who works for a law firm.
