Clients can use the Authorization to Obtain Consumer Report form (TXR 1929) to give written permission for a real estate professional to obtain a copy of the client’s credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies. By signing, the client acknowledges the credit report may be used to determine credit worthiness, character, general reputation, and mode of living, among other information authorized by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The form authorizes any owner, landlord, lender, or broker involved in the real estate transaction to discuss the report’s information among themselves. It also releases the owner or real estate professional from any claims, liabilities, or damages resulting from or furnishing information. This is just one of more than 130 forms exclusively for members of Texas REALTORS®.
