Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Writen Contracts

I'm trying to by a Mobile home in Texas. The seller wrote a written contract saying that in 30 days if I dont give him the rest of the money for the mobile home I will lose my Deposit. Now I did some research on the Mobile home just to make sure that the seller was paying his tax and if it was not stolen. I found out that the mobile home is not register to Austin texas. Now the seller will need to fill out an application indicating where he bought the home and where it was located. Also provide info about the taxes. Now if the seller decides he does not want to do that is there a way i can get my money back.

Re: Writen Contracts

Probably. Read your contract. The seller has an implied warranty that he or she has good title to convey you. However, it may take a suit in small claims court to get a judgment against the seller. Whether you can collect on that judgment is another matter. Good luck.
