Relating to prohibiting the use of unfair service agreements; creating an offense.
SB 2957 prohibits service agreements for residential property maintenance or purchase/sale transactions that include unfair terms, such as binding future owners without consent or creating property liens. It makes such agreements void and unenforceable, and classifies entering them as a deceptive practice under Texas consumer law. The bill specifically exempts home warranties, insurance contracts, homeowners' association agreements, and utility services. It directly affects residential property owners and service providers in Texas who use or offer these agreements.
