You are right Nick, as far as the laws in Texas.
Texas states on the required inspection form that
clients should hire their own inspector and not
depend on secondary information.

In that regard, this is a plus.

On the other hand, because of strong disclosure laws
in Texas, Realtors are afraid for sellers to have an inspection
because they are hoping for the good ole days when
they could always find a GOOSE to buy a pretty paint job
on an old junk house... and not have the seller reveal
much of anything.

I am so glad that I never knew you when you were a
Realtor Nick. It might affect my opinion of you. You
such a nice person now.
