TITLE 22 - EXAMINING BOARDS
PART 23 - TEXAS REAL ESTATE COMMISSION
CHAPTER 535 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
SUBCHAPTER N - SUSPENSION AND REVOCATION OF LICENSURE
SECTION/RULE §535.145 - False Promise
Chapter Review Date 11/09/2022

For purposes of §1101.652(b)(5) of the Act "false promise" includes both oral and written promises. The fact that a written agreement between the parties to a real estate transaction does not recite a promise made by a real estate license holder to one of the parties or that a person did not detrimentally rely on the false promise will not prevent the Commission from determining that a false promise was made. In determining whether this section has been violated, neither a written contractual provision disclaiming oral representations nor the Texas Rules of Evidence Rule 1004, the parol evidence rule, shall prevent the Commission from considering oral promises made by a license holder.
