Re: inspection
Read your contract for deed. If you have a right and they refuse your right, give proper notice of default and show the remedy you elect. Read the contract and the Texas Property Code first. However, after you read the Property Code and your contract, a nice telephone call and general good faith might be all that is required...

Re: inspection
A word of warning about contracts for deeds. Texas Law now mandates that they must be filed in the real property records. Please be sure that yours is recorded in the office of the county clerk in the county where the property is located. Regarding your problem, it sounds like a lack of communication. Using your legal remedies would be expensive, but to protect your interest, it may be worth it. Best of luck.
