Bill > HB59

This bill amends the Texas Property Code to require sellers of residential real property located in platted subdivisions to verify the citizenship or legal residency status of purchasers before entering into certain types of contracts, such as executory contracts for conveyance or contracts involving an option to purchase. Sellers must maintain proof of the purchaser's citizenship or legal residency and file this information with the county clerk. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in criminal penalties, including fines and potential jail time. The bill applies only to contracts entered into on or after the effective date, which is the 91st day after the last day of the legislative session.
