In November, the Texas Real Estate Commission adopted changes to Section 537.11 of its rules, Use of Standard Contract Forms, which takes effect May 15. Here’s what the changes mean for you. 

When a license holder is negotiating contracts for the sale, exchange, option, lease, or rental of any interest in real property, he or she must use a mandatory Texas Real Estate Commission form if one is available for the transaction. But there are exceptions, and TREC adopted changes to two of those exceptions:

Forms created by a property owner or an attorney. Previously, a license holder could use other forms in transactions for which a contract form has been prepared by a principal to the transaction or prepared by an attorney and required by a principal to the transaction. The updated rule changes “principal” to “property owner,” which reflects the language in the Real Estate License Act.

Transactions without mandatory TREC forms or addenda. Prior to the rule change, a license holder could use other forms in transactions for which no standard contract form had been promulgated by TREC if the form was prepared by a licensed Texas attorney and approved by the attorney for that kind of transaction. Approximately 50 TAR forms, like the Commercial Contract – Improved Property (TAR 1801) or the Residential Lease (TAR 2001), exist because of this exception. The updated rule requires forms like these to include certain information, such as who prepared the form and any restrictions on its use. All TAR forms that exist under this exception already contain the required information.

An addendum that changes the rights, obligations, or remedies of a party under a mandatory TREC contract or addendum form must include additional information. TAR offers one such form, the Relocation Addendum (TAR 1941). This form will be updated to include the newly required information.

If you've made it through the majority of your Texas pre-license real estate coursework, it might be time to learn about promulgated contracts. As a licensed real estate agent, you will be required to write contracts using forms that are promulgated — or required — by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). It's important you can use them skillfully and competently on behalf of your clients. 

"Promulgate" means to make known publicly. When TREC promulgates a contract, that means they've made it official, or law. In other words, they require that particular form to be used by all agents in any relevant transaction. 

So how does TREC get from real estate transaction form to promulgated contract? And how do they decide which real estate transactions need to be promulgated forms? Here are the five steps of the promulgated contracts life cycle in Texas.

Step 1: The Committee Identifies a Real Estate Transaction that Needs a Contract

The Texas Broker-Lawyer Committee consists of six members appointed by TREC. They write and revise all contracts that TREC promulgates. Before TREC even considers a contract form for promulgation, the Broker-Lawyer Committee must identify a real estate transaction requiring a standardized contract.

There are six main sales contracts that TREC promulgates. These include:

  • Residential

  • Condo

  • New construction

  • Farm and ranch

  • Unimproved property

Step 2: The Committee Creates a Contract for the Transaction

Next, the Broker-Lawyer Committee will create a draft of a form to use as a contract for that transaction.

Step 3: The Committee Posts the Contract for Public Feedback

The public is entitled to weigh in on legal contract matters. So once the Broker-Lawyer Committee has drafted a contract form, they post it publicly in the Texas Register. People can then submit their feedback.

Step 4: The Committee Makes Revisions to the Contract, Then Submits It to TREC

After the public has made comments, the Broker-Lawyer Committee will make revisions. They may not make every revision requested by the public, but they will carefully consider all comments and attempt to make changes that are in the best interest of the public. Then they submit the revised contract to TREC.

Step 5: TREC Decides If Contract Will Be Promulgated, Approved, or Dismissed

At this point, TREC has three options to consider.

  • They may decide that the contract will be promulgated, meaning all agents are required to use it for relevant transactions.

  • Alternatively, TREC could decide to approve the contract, but not promulgate it. That would mean that real estate agents may use it, but they are not required to use it.

  • Finally, TREC might decide to dismiss the contract. That would mean that they'd rejected it, and the contract could not be used at all.

Contact your attorney or a real estate trade association for such forms.
