Starting in August 2024, homebuyers nationwide were required to sign a Buyer's Representation Agreement before viewing properties. While this requirement might seem like a significant change, the truth is that it is not new in the state of Texas.
A real estate contract in Texas must include several essential elements to be legally binding. First and foremost, the contract must identify the parties involved: the buyer and the seller. It should also clearly describe the property being sold, including its address and legal description.
"Contracts for Deed" - Contracts for deed, sometimes referred to as "rent to own" financing arrangements, are legal in Texas.
A Texas standard residential lease agreement is a document used by a landlord renting property to a tenant for monthly payment under typical conditions. Most agreements of this type are for a fixed term, usually one year.
It must be written in strict adherence to property laws of the state where the property is located. Failing to do so can either render the lease invalid or unable to protect the landlord's property and interests from potential problem tenants.
Answer: Yes. The contract forms are available for public use. A TREC contract form, however, is intended for use primarily by licensed real estate brokers or sales agents who are trained in their correct use.
TREC does not promulgate listing or buyer representation agreements, property management contracts, forms for commercial property, or residential leases (other than temporary residential leases used in connection with a sale).
