Should you disclose problems with your home?

By Glenn Wegner, Lone Star Realty, Keller, TX Last reviewed: October 6, 2026

Yes. In Texas, sellers of most residential property must provide a seller's disclosure notice on or before the effective date of the contract, and it asks about known defects, repairs, roof, flooding, and more. The notice is answered to the best of your belief and knowledge, and it is your responsibility as the seller to complete it. You don't need to overstate problems, but you do need to disclose them. If it isn't provided on time, the buyer may have a limited right to terminate. Skipping or underplaying it can trip you up mid-deal or after closing, with attorneys involved. I am not an attorney, so ask yours if you have a legal question.
