Frequently Asked
What does it mean to sell a house as-is in Texas?
Quick Answer
Selling as-is means the seller will not make repairs or improvements as a condition of the sale, and the buyer accepts the property in its current physical condition. It does not eliminate Texas's Seller's Disclosure Notice requirement under Property Code Section 5.008, which still applies to most residential sales — as-is language addresses who fixes problems, not whether the seller must disclose known issues.
