Texas Association of Builders’ Contracts Package subscription is available to TAB Builder members for only $600 (plus tax) on September 1, 2025. It’s your blueprint for typical construction and remodeling transactions in the State of Texas. In addition to reflecting new legislative mandates, the new package includes more additions and enhancements than ever before to the various contracts and agreements, including:

• Vital updates from the Texas Supreme Court decisions regarding arbitration and attorney's fees provisions;

• The Residential Construction Liability Act re-purchase option;

• Recent changes to the real estate commission rules;

• Updated lot contract provisions;

• Numerous risk management revisions; and

• Updated Express Limited Home Warranty & Performance Standards to reflect current building practices and industry standards.

TAB’s Contracts Package is the only published set of contracts that complies with the Residential Construction Liability Act to obtain the benefit of the six-year statute of repose. No other published form set complies, and builders out of compliance with the statute are providing four additional years of liability and warranty obligations. As always, the Contracts Package includes the Limited Express Home Warranty, updates from recent court cases, and legislatively mandated requirements specific to Texas, the absence of which could result in dire consequences for your business.
