In Texas, you can fire your listing agent by filling out and signing form TAR 1410, Termination of Listing. This form has the same structure as the TAR 1503 form. In this form, you declare that you have no current negotiations pending or contemplated with anyone for the sale, lease, or exchange of the property.

Buying a home is a serious commitment and shouldn't be taken lightly. If you do need to back out an accepted offer, be upfront with the seller as soon as you've made your decision. Work closely with your real estate agent, who can help you communicate to the seller (in writing) why you want to back out.
