Contracts for deed (legally known as “executory contracts”) are often advertised as an easy way to sell land without a bank or attorney. The idea is simple: you hold the title until the buyer finishes paying, usually in monthly installments, and then you transfer ownership. For sellers, it sounds like a win—private sale, low costs, interest income, and an easy way to take back the property if the buyer stops paying. 

Did you sell land with a monthly payment contract, thinking it would be simple—only to have it turn into a never-ending headache

So, what could go wrong? 

Plenty. And most sellers aren’t warned about the hassles and pitfalls that can come with these deals when things don’t go as planned: 

1. The buyer isn’t paying like they promised. 
2. The house or land is neglected or damaged. 
3. The buyer isn’t paying taxes or keeping insurance. 
4. You need the money now, not later.

Texas law puts strict rules—and major penalties—on sellers. 

In Texas, a contract for deed or executory contract on residential real estate is heavily regulated under Property Code Chapter 5, Subchapter D. Many sellers don’t realize that failing to meet these legal requirements—both at signing and when the buyer stops paying—can expose them to serious liability. Dealing with these issues can be complex, time-consuming, and expensive, especially if a buyer claims they were wronged.
