Summary

No notice? Buyer can cancel within 30 days, for any reason.

The bill requires a person selling a home, or land meant for a home, to give the buyer written notice if the property is under an active oil, gas, or mineral lease, or if oil and gas equipment sits on the property or on a neighboring parcel. It touches home sellers and buyers in Texas, and the seller is excused only if they honestly believe neither condition exists. If the seller skips the notice, the buyer can cancel the contract for any reason within 30 days after the contract date or the closing date, whichever is later, for contracts signed on or after September 1, 2027.

A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to requiring a seller of residential property or

unimproved real property to be used for residential purposes to

disclose an oil, gas, or mineral lease on the property and oil and

gas equipment on the property or adjoining property.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Subchapter A, Chapter 5, Property Code, is

amended by adding Section 5.0131 to read as follows:

Sec. 5.0131. SELLER'S DISCLOSURE OF OIL, GAS, OR MINERAL

LEASE OR OIL AND GAS EQUIPMENT ON OR NEAR REAL PROPERTY INTENDED FOR

RESIDENTIAL USE. (a) In this section, "oil and gas equipment"

means machinery, drilling equipment, or other equipment used in the

drilling or maintenance of oil and gas wells, in the production of

oil and gas, or in the transportation of petroleum products.

(b) A seller of residential real property or unimproved real

property intended for residential use shall provide to the

purchaser of the property a written notice if:

(1) oil and gas equipment is located on the property or

a parcel of land adjoining the property; or

(2) the property is subject to a valid, unexpired oil,

gas, or mineral lease.

(c) A seller is not required to provide the notice under

Subsection (b) if, to the best of the seller's belief and knowledge,

the conditions described by Subsections (b)(1) and (2) do not exist

on the property.

(d) Notice required under Subsection (b) must be delivered

by the seller:

(1) on or before the effective date of an executory

contract binding the purchaser to purchase the property; and

(2) not later than the 30th day before the date the

transfer of the property becomes effective.

(e) If a contract is entered into without the seller

providing the notice as required by this section, the purchaser may

terminate or rescind the contract for any reason not later than the

30th day after the later of:

(1) the effective date of the contract; or

(2) the date the transfer becomes effective.

SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to

a contract for the sale of real property entered into on or after

the effective date of this Act.

SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2027.
