Texas · Seller disclosures
What you must disclose to a buyer in Texas.
Texas requires the TREC "Seller's Disclosure Notice" by statute. Form OP-H is the version updated for sales NOT using a real-estate agent (FSBO).
Legal note: Texas Property Code §5.008 makes the disclosure mandatory; failure to deliver lets the buyer terminate the contract for any reason within 7 days of receipt. Update the form if defects emerge between signing and closing.
