TEXAS COMPLIANCE FAQ

Texas Compliance FAQ

Clear answers on the rules Broker Armor is built around: IABS delivery, written showing agreements, intermediary status, and not creating agency by accident.

These answers are general summaries of Texas real estate licensing law for information only — they are not legal advice and do not create an attorney-client relationship. Rules and forms change; the license holder should always verify against the current text of TRELA and the TREC rules, and direct situation-specific questions to their sponsoring broker or a private attorney.

IABS Delivery

When the Information About Brokerage Services form is due, how to deliver it, and what it does (and does not) accomplish.

Unintended Agency & Property Reports

How agency forms through conduct in Texas — and how sharing property information with an unrepresented consumer stays on the safe side of the line.

Written Showing Agreements

When Texas law requires a signed agreement before you show a property — and what happens the moment the customer asks for more.

Open Houses

What the 2026 written-agreement rules mean at the front door — two hosting scenarios, one sign-before-you-show rule, and the broker policy that governs it all.

Intermediary Status

What happens when your brokerage ends up on both sides of one transaction — consent, appointments, and what an intermediary can and cannot say.
