Maybe you\u2019re in a rush, or perhaps your client wants a form that covers an unusual situation that isn\u2019t addressed in Texas Real Estate Commission or Texas REALTORS\u00ae forms.\nYou\u2019re courting trouble if you create and use AI-generated forms for your clients\u2019 transactions. Here\u2019s why.\nIt\u2019s Risky\nEven if you could use those forms (spoiler alert: it\u2019s against the law), there\u2019s no guarantee that what you\u2019re getting is attorney-approved the way Texas REALTORS\u00ae and TREC forms are. Which means they could contain errors or unenforceable clauses that put you and your clients at risk of a lawsuit or worse.\nIt\u2019s Probably Unnecessary\nAs a member of Texas REALTORS\u00ae, you have exclusive access to more than 150 forms for a wide variety of transactions and circumstances. They\u2019re available now, without a prompt, at texasrealestate.com and through several form vendors.\nIt\u2019s Not Allowed\nIf you\u2019re still tempted by AI-generated forms for your clients\u2019 transactions, know this: Using AI in this way would constitute the unauthorized practice of law and thus would violate The Real Estate License Act and other TREC rules.\nInstead of trying to save time by asking AI, save yourself future hassles by taking advantage of the approved, standardized, and easily available forms from Texas REALTORS\u00ae and TREC.\nCheck AI\u2019s Work with Approved Forms\nIf you use AI to fill out approved forms, remember to double check the finished product before using it. You\u2019re responsible for what it generates, especially when it comes to forms.\nBrokers Could Use AI to Draft Certain Forms\nThe law prohibits agents from drafting forms for use in client transactions. But what about documents that aren\u2019t specifically transaction-related?\nBrokers are not prohibited from drafting agreements they are a party to, such as a listing agreement. However, while a broker could use AI to create that agreement, as stated above, AI-generated documents come with risks and should be checked carefully before being used. Brokers should consider using the attorney-approved Texas REALTORS\u00ae forms available to them as members or hiring an attorney.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
