Texas Seller's Disclosure About Groundwater and Surface Water Rights

This document is a Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) disclosure form that requires sellers to share any knowledge they have about groundwater, water wells, and surface water rights connected to a property. It explains important terms like groundwater, water wells, groundwater districts, and surface water rights, and asks the seller to disclose whether the property has wells, shared water access, leased or sold groundwater rights, or any ponds, lakes, or water tanks. The form also warns buyers that water rights laws in Texas can be complicated and that sellers may not know all details about the property’s water rights. Buyers are encouraged to speak with an attorney or water rights expert if they need more information before purchasing the property.
