What Texas requires from sellers
- A seller of residential real property comprising not more than one dwelling unit must give the buyer a written notice of the property's condition on or before the effective date of the contract.
- The form is the Seller's Disclosure Notice.
- Closings are handled by title companies rather than by a closing attorney.
- Texas does not impose a state real estate transfer tax on the sale of residential property.
- A non-judicial foreclosure sale requires at least 21 days' written notice of sale, and sales are held on the first Tuesday of the month.
