Legal Question in Business Law in Texas
waiver from liability
I recently retired and am at the beginning stages of my consultant business established as sole proprieter. I work out of my home. While the primary focus of my business is consulting through other entitites, I do some coaching (life/personal/business) both in my home and at other peoples homes/offices. What kind/s of forms would be appropriate for me to ask them to sign to receive my services? I have been searching for a waiver from liability but cannot find such a form. I will at some point become an LLP or LLC but am not earning enough at this moment to do so. Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: waiver from liability
The first thing you should have is a contract for the services you will perform, and what and when they'll pay you form them. The second is a waiver and indemnification. That spells out what liabilities you are being absolved from, and whether they'll defend you if things go sour.
You might consider checking Nolo Press for their do-it-yourself lawyering books.
