About

Who writes the content

Guides are written and maintained by the Rental Free Lease Editorial Team, the in-house team of DCD HOLDING. The team is not a law firm and no page on this site is written or signed by a Texas attorney unless the page says so. The editorial contact for corrections is the postal address above, marked “Editorial — Rental Free Lease”.

How a guide is produced

  1. Primary sources first. Texas rules are taken from the Texas Property Code (Chapter 92 in particular) on the Texas Legislature’s statute site, the Texas State Law Library, the Texas Attorney General, TREC forms and federal agencies (HUD, EPA, FTC, CFPB, IRS). Local facts come from the official website or code of the city, the county, the appraisal district, the Public Utility Commission of Texas, FEMA and the Census Bureau. Blogs, aggregators and agency listings are not used as sources.
  2. Every fact carries its source. Each guide ends with a Sources block that lists the official pages consulted. Local guides link the source next to the fact, in the text.
  3. Nothing is extrapolated. When a local rule cannot be confirmed for a city, the guide says the point must be checked with the named department and links to it. A rule from one city is never applied to another.
  4. Figures are dated. Rent, tax-rate and market figures state their source and the month they were read.

How often pages are reviewed

The date shown on each page is the date it was last substantively changed, not a bulk timestamp. Statewide guides are reviewed when the Texas Legislature’s biennial session produces changes to Chapter 92 (most take effect on September 1 of odd-numbered years) and whenever a source page cited in the guide changes. City guides are rechecked against the city’s official pages at least every six months. Corrections sent to the editorial address are reviewed within 30 days.

What the lease generator is

The generator runs entirely in your browser. It produces a Texas residential lease draft with the statutory notices Texas requires in the text of a lease — the §92.0135 flood disclosure, the §92.056 repair-remedy notice, the statutory early-termination notices — and a checklist for the federal lead-based-paint disclosure. Nothing you type is sent to our servers, no account is created and nothing is charged. A completed sample with fictitious data shows the exact output.

What the site does not do

The paid workspace

The optional Landlord Workspace, for rent ledgers and documents, is a separate subscription product described on the pricing page. The lease generator and every guide remain free without it.
