Essentials of Contract Law in Texas
1st Edition by Mettling, Mettling, & Hamilton
Essentials of Contract Law in Texas is one of the five required books in Performance Programs Company's Texas real estate prelicense series. This course provides a practical and comprehensive study of Texas real estate contracts, ownership rights, financing, conveyance, and the legal framework that governs residential real estate transactions.
Organized across 11 chapters, the course builds progressively from the legal foundations of Texas real estate practice through the preparation, negotiation, financing, and closing of residential contracts. The course emphasizes the practical application of contract law within day-to-day brokerage activity and focuses heavily on the forms and procedures Texas licensees use in real-world transactions.
Topics include TRELA and TREC regulations, promulgated contract forms, unauthorized practice of law issues, the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, property ownership rights, encumbrances, contract formation and enforcement, listing agreements, buyer representation agreements, leasehold estates, options, contracts for deed, and the One to Four Family Residential Contract.
The course also examines financing and lending laws, deed of trust mechanics, foreclosure procedures, title insurance, conveyance and closing procedures, prorations, and the most common contract preparation mistakes made by Texas licensees. Special attention is given to contingency structures, addenda usage, disclosure requirements, and risk management throughout the transaction process.
Each chapter includes learning objectives, Snapshot Reviews, and practical case study discussions designed to reinforce both exam preparation and real-world application of Texas contract law principles.
