Texas law requires that the seller provide the buyer with a completed Seller's Disclosure of Property Condition Notice on or before the effective date of a contract. This statement must disclose all known structural defects, as well as problems with or information about the heating, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems. The seller also must include potential problems of which he or she is aware such as easements, environmental hazards, landfills, flooding, zoning violations, noise problems or termite and pest infestations,treatments or damage. It is also the duty of the seller's agent to conduct a visual inspection of the home and report all facts that materially affect the value or desirability of the property.
