TITLE 22 | EXAMINING BOARDS |
PART 23 | TEXAS REAL ESTATE COMMISSION |
CHAPTER 535 | GENERAL PROVISIONS |
SUBCHAPTER N | SUSPENSION AND REVOCATION OF LICENSURE |
RULE §535.145 | False Promise |
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. |
