Texas Real Estate Commission

Acronym:

TREC Enforcement

Is it true that home inspectors licensed in Texas, cannot inspect plumbing in a home nor report plumbing deficiencies in the TREC inspection report? Can the inspector advertise that he inspects plumbing?

Does TREC require the use of a “contract” for inspections which would outline the responsibilities of the parties to the contract or have a form inspectors can use?

On my inspection report, the inspector reported certain things in the house as “safety hazards” or “code violations”. Can TREC give me information about what codes the inspector is referring to?

It appears that the inspector who inspected my home before my purchase missed major termite infestation. The damage from the termites has cost me thousands of dollars to repair. Shouldn’t the inspector have noted this problem on his report?

I recently purchased an older home that was inspected before the purchase. After living in the home a few weeks, the dishwasher started leaking and had to be replaced. Shouldn’t the inspector have told me this unit was about to fail?

Do I have any recourse against the inspector for failing to note on his report that there was a gas leak outside the home due to a corroded gas line?

Can I perform mold inspections under my TREC inspector license?

As a licensed inspector in the State of Texas, am I supposed to charge a sales tax on the amount of my inspection fee?

I am licensed as a real estate sales agent and as a professional home inspector. Can my broker's real estate office offer my inspection services to their clients?

If a homeowner wanted to hire a consultant to perform a cursory, major defect visual inspection, including the foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, and major appliances, would TREC require any written report?
