How this connects
Texas is updating its property transfer laws to require a new disclosure form. Starting January 1, 2026, anyone buying or selling property in our state must complete a notice form with their names, addresses, tax ID numbers, and citizenship status. This form stays confidential but state agencies can access it for government purposes. County clerks will keep these forms separate from regular property records.
