Unlike most of the forms in a Texas contract file, the Non-Realty Items Addendum (TREC No. 57-0) isn't a mandatory promulgated form — the header on the form itself reads "APPROVED BY THE TEXAS REAL ESTATE COMMISSION (TREC) FOR VOLUNTARY USE," a different designation than the "PROMULGATED BY THE TEXAS REAL ESTATE COMMISSION (TREC)" language on forms like the contract itself or the financing and short sale addenda. TREC's forms library lists this form under Contract Addenda with a listed page effective date of September 3, 2025; the printed form text itself carries a revision date of 10-10-11, with no indication of a text revision since.
What the form is for
The addendum is a short bill-of-sale-style attachment for personal property that's part of the deal but isn't already covered elsewhere in the contract. It's used when a seller is conveying items like a hot tub, shed, appliances, or similar personal property outside the base contract's built-in property description.
Paragraph A — the property and the price
The form's own language: "For an additional sum of $_______ and other and good valuable consideration, Seller shall convey to Buyer at closing the following personal property (specify each item carefully, include description, model numbers, serial numbers, location, and other information)." The form provides blank lines for each item to be listed individually.
Paragraph B — ownership warranty
"Seller represents and warrants that Seller owns the personal property described in Paragraph A free and clear of all encumbrances."
Paragraph C — no condition warranty
"Seller does not warrant or guarantee the condition or future performance of the personal property conveyed by this document." This is the operative distinction from the seller's disclosures elsewhere in the file: the seller is confirming clean title to the item, not its working condition.
