Amending a Texas Contract: The TREC 39-11
Executed contracts change by written amendment — checked boxes, filled blanks, both signatures.
What it covers
- Sales price restructures (¶3 cash / financing / total)
- Closing date changes
- Repairs the seller will complete
- Option-period extensions with an additional fee
- Financing-approval date changes
- Other factual modifications
The rule that matters
An amendment binds only when both parties execute it. Until then, the original deadlines keep running — extend the option period BEFORE it expires, not after.
Educational only — not legal advice. TREC forms are for use by trained license holders; talk to your broker or an attorney about your specific transaction.
