Promulgated Form definition
A promulgated form is a contract or addendum that TREC has adopted for mandatory use in a specified transaction. The Texas Real Estate Broker-Lawyer Committee drafts recommended forms, and TREC adopts them. Rule 537.11 lists exceptions, including specified owner-prepared, attorney-prepared, and federal-agency forms.
A license holder may complete the authorized form and add informational items as the rule permits, but may not draft language that defines or affects a party's legal rights, obligations, or remedies. Unusual legal provisions belong with an attorney.
