Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
we were selling a mobile home on a monthly payment of $325.00. We wrote up a simple contract on a piece of paper which my husband & I signed along with the buyer. We never had the paper noterized. We were selling it to her on good faith. The buyer moved in and lived there for only 6 weeks before the mobile home caught fire. It may have been caused from a electrical outlet but never determined for sure. Anyhow she had no insurance and says she was only renting. Do we have a legal case against her for the remainder due from the balance of our agreement?

A written contract (usually) doesn't need to be notarized.
Yes, you (probably - I've never seen your contract) have the right to sue her for the balance. The risk of loss by fire was (probably) the buyer's, not yours.
yes..and the case could be handled in small claims court..good luck
