Texas Seller's Disclosure Notice

This Texas Seller's Disclosure Notice is prepared pursuant to Texas Property Code § 5.008. It is required for the sale of most residential real property consisting of not more than one dwelling unit (with limited exceptions). The seller must complete this disclosure to the best of the seller's knowledge and belief as of the date signed. The seller signs under penalty of perjury.

This form uses a checkbox format as is conventional for Texas disclosures. "Yes" means the condition or item is known to exist; "No" means it does not; "Unknown" means the seller has no actual knowledge. Sellers should attach explanations or documents where indicated.

Key Texas considerations: expansive clay soils and foundation movement are common; flooding disclosures are critical (especially after Hurricane Harvey and subsequent storms); Municipal Utility District (MUD) disclosures are often required; and separate flood notice requirements may apply under other statutes.

The buyer should obtain a professional inspection. This disclosure is not a warranty., -
