The use of the COVID-19 Addendum to Texas real estate contracts is not mandatory and may not be appropriate in all circumstances. Depending on the goals and needs of the parties, the use of an existing form may be more appropriate.
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing unprecedented impact and uncertainty for Texas real estate transactions. Voluntary and mandatory quarantines and the closure of government and private offices may impede the ability of parties to successfully fund and close transactions.
Addressing Uncertainties
To address these uncertainties, Texas REALTORS® has created the COVID-19 Addendum (TXR-2520). The COVID-19 Addendum provides for a 30-day extension of the closing date in a residential sales contract if the closing cannot occur due to a voluntary or mandatory COVID- 19 quarantine or closure.
