TEXAS STATEWIDE
TREC No. OP-H Seller's Disclosure Notice
Tell buyers what you know about the property — clearly, legally, and completely.
What is OP-H used for?
Texas law requires sellers of residential property to give this notice to buyers before closing. It discloses what the seller knows about the property's features, condition, defects, flood history, and legal issues — so the buyer can make an informed decision.
Give the buyer a complete picture of what you know about the property's condition, history, and legal status — protecting yourself from liability and giving the buyer the information they need to proceed with confidence.
Failing to disclose a known material defect can expose you to buyer lawsuits after closing. This form discloses what you KNOW — you are not required to inspect or investigate, but you cannot knowingly omit what you already know.
