Looking for a free wholesale purchase agreement with an assignment clause, ideally Texas-specific. Anyone willing to share a template they use?
Also willing to take any advice anyone has to get started or how to gather a buyers list, etc. Thank you!

Welcome to wholesaling, Anirudh.
One thing I’ve learned is that building relationships with investors, wholesalers, and cash buyers early can make a huge difference. A lot of opportunities seem to come through networking and staying active in communities like this.
I’m still growing my network as well, but I’d be interested to hear what market you’re focusing on in Texas and what your plan is for building your buyers list.

My plan for building a buyers list is just reaching out to buyers who are looking to quickly buy homes to fix and flip and offer them some off-market homes to close a deal. I also need to get started in finding a good title company that is willing to verify and close wholesale deals.
Hey Anirudh,
Welcome to wholesaling. One thing I'd encourage you to focus on early is learning how to talk to sellers and understand their situations. A lot of new investors spend time chasing contracts and buyers lists, but the real skill is having good conversations and building relationships.
For a Texas assignment contract, I'd recommend checking with a local real estate attorney or experienced Texas investors to make sure you're using the most current paperwork for your market.
As for building a buyers list, start networking with local investors, agents, landlords, wholesalers, and attend local REIA meetings. A strong buyers list is really just a collection of relationships built over time.
Keep learning, take action, and don't be afraid to make calls. Most people get stuck trying to know everything before they start.
Best of luck to you.
Texas Real Estate Commission publishes a free one-to-four family residential contract on their site. It's not assignment-specific out of the box, but most Texas wholesalers add an assignment addendum to it. TREC form 20-16 is the one to look at. For the buyers list, local REIAs and the courthouse steps are where the repeat buyers show up.
Carson's TREC form 20-16 tip is exactly right — that's your starting point for Texas contracts. But I want to build on what Travis said about learning to talk to sellers, because there's a practical step most beginners skip that makes those conversations dramatically more productive.
Before you call a single property owner, learn your county's three public databases:
1. Tax Collector — who's delinquent on property taxes (government-confirmed financial distress)
2. Code Enforcement — who has open violations (property condition issues the owner can't or won't fix)
3. Clerk of Court — probate filings, liens, judgments (life events that create motivation to sell)
When you cross-reference all three and find properties that appear on multiple lists, you've got what I call "converged distress" — the county has already confirmed motivation for you. A single tax list might give you 200 names. Tax + code enforcement narrows it to ~80. Add court records and you're down to ~20 properties where the owner has tax problems AND code violations AND probate or liens. Those are your highest-probability conversations.
Here's why this changes everything Travis mentioned about talking to sellers: instead of calling cold and asking "are you interested in selling?", you're calling with specific knowledge of the property's situation. "I saw your property has open code violations and tax arrears — have you thought about what you'd like to do with it?" That's a completely different conversation.
As for the buyers list question — when you show up at your Texas REIA with 3-5 converged deals with documented county data, the buyers find you. Active cash buyers are always looking for sourced deals with real numbers. The title company question solves itself too — any investor-friendly title company that handles assignments will work, and your REIA members will tell you which ones in your county.
The order that works: county data → motivated seller → contract → THEN title company and buyers. Most 19-year-old beginners (I was there too) reverse it and spend months building infrastructure before they have anything to close.
