FSBO form for Texas private purchase?

Question

Anybody have any template for a FSBO sale form for Texas? The TREC form has lots of pages that won't be needed (Realtor info, escrow, and a few others). Just something nice and straightforward but that complies with TX law and of course lenders.

Hopefully this post doesn't get deleted as the other ones asking basic info have :)

@Gagan P. How much is the sales price? Commercial or residential? Why not pay a lawyer to draft one up for you? And you said no escrow - are you not closing through a title company?

@Gagan P.   You don't have to use those....just leave them blank.  3rd party financing is not required....if it is cash deal.

I was looking at the TREC form but the last two pages seem sort of redundant if the deposit isn't going into escrow, as well as the Third Party Financing Addendum needing to be separate from the actual agreement.

Many attorney's say use the TREC form.  It's familiar to so many involved in the transaction.  Title companies, lenders, etc.  It's a good contract they say.  Many will suggest you use it, even when they have access to other contracts.

@Gagan P. a valid legal contract needs to be signed by both parties and something valuable exchanged. You can write it on the back of scrap piece of paper. If you want some short form contracts look in the files section of BP.
