Texas Lease Options: Deciphering the Legal Jargon

So I have been reading into the Texas Property Code along with a book I bought Texas laws on Lease Options to figure out how to do it without violating any laws. Hehe, Texas has a lot of red tape to wade through.

It states an option fee cannot be forfeited due to late payments. Would this also encompass complete non payment/ eviction?

It's full of riddles and a huge process (you have to divulge the the lender, address, phone, loan balance, principal/ interest itemized before they sign any contract and then every month after they have moved in for example) but I'm reading and rereading it and will be talking with an attorney to make sure my contracts are straight before I ever do anything. Any feedback would be appreciated thanks!

Edit - It also states that you have to give 30 day opportunity to cure any defaults on contract before you can do anything. Does this mean I would have to wait 30 days before I could even start the eviction process?
