Fact or Fiction: Can anyone use a Texas REALTORS® form? – Texas REALTORS®-2021十大正规彩票app

October 01, 2024

Anyone can use a Texas REALTORS® contract or form as long as it is an official, up-to-date version.

FICTION. Although the 30-plus forms promulgated by the Texas Real Estate Commission may be used by anyone, the 140-plus Texas REALTORS® contracts and forms are exclusively for the use of members of the association, either for transactions in which they represent a party or in their personal real estate business. In fact, a couple of forms, such as the Residential Lease (TXR-2001), may be voidable if an active member of Texas REALTORS® does not negotiate the lease as a party or for one of the parties.

Members may access Texas REALTORS® forms at gabonmagazine.com/realtorforms, through zipForm Transactions (another member benefit), or on one of the eight other forms platforms currently licensed to provide forms through their application to association members. Some local associations of REALTORS® and brokerages in Texas also license Texas REALTORS® forms on their platforms.

If you ever see a Texas REALTORS® form being provided outside of these legitimate providers, please email forms@texasrealtors.com. Alerting the association of unauthorized forms use protects the valuable resources that only members of Texas REALTORS® are entitled to use.
