Legal Briefs: Showing a Property Without Representing the Party

The latest Legal Briefs video discusses new requirements that take effect January 1, 2026, relating to your representation of clients and addresses whether an agent can show a property to potential buyers or tenants without representing them.
Learn what this means for showing a home and when you’ll need a separate written agreement, such as the Residential Buyer/Tenant Representation Agreement (TXR 1501) or the Information About Brokerage Services (IABS) form.
This change allowing a broker to show residential property for sale or lease without representing the prospective buyer or tenant goes into effect January 1, 2026.
This video is the first of a three-part series covering changes to agency law in Texas. Watch this episode below or click here.
