Agents search "TREC lease forms" every day, but TREC doesn't actually promulgate a standard residential or commercial lease. Here's the real form landscape — lease by lease, addendum by addendum — and how to fill every one of them without the paperwork drag.
Not exactly — and it trips up a lot of agents, especially newer license holders. TREC promulgates exactly six contract forms, all for sales: the Unimproved Property Contract (TREC 9-18), the One to Four Family Residential Contract (Resale) (TREC 20-19), two New Home Contracts (TREC 23-20 and TREC 24-20), the Farm and Ranch Contract (TREC 25-17), and the Residential Condominium Contract (Resale) (TREC 30-18). A standard residential or commercial lease isn't one of them, and TREC promulgates no commercial sale contract either.
What most agents actually mean when they search "TREC lease forms" are Texas REALTORS® (TXR) forms: TXR 2001 (Residential Lease) and TXR 2101 (Commercial Lease) are the workhorses. TREC's own lease-adjacent forms are narrower — TREC 15-7 (Seller's Temporary Residential Lease) and TREC 16-7 (Buyer's Temporary Residential Lease) are short-term occupancy accessories used alongside a sale contract, not standalone tenant leases. TREC also promulgates TREC 51-1 (Addendum Regarding Residential Leases), attached to a residential or farm & ranch sales contract when a lease is part of the transaction — a genuine TREC lease-related form, but an addendum to a sale contract rather than a lease agreement in its own right.
Getting this distinction right matters at the signing table. Using the wrong form family, or an outdated revision, creates avoidable friction with clients and TREC compliance risk for you. This guide walks through every current lease-related TREC and TXR form so you always reach for the right one — and links straight to the current version of each at /resources/forms.
The standard lease agreement for a single-family residential tenancy in Texas.
Use this instead of TXR 2001 when leasing a unit within a multi-family property.
The base commercial lease document, paired with the relevant TXR commercial addenda.
A lease transaction rarely ends with the lease itself. Before it's signed, residential leasing brings a stack of supporting forms: TXR 2003 Residential Lease Application (rev 2026-01-05), TXR 2006 Residential Lease Inventory and Condition Form (rev 2024-05-15), TXR 2007 Residential Lease Guaranty (rev 2024-05-15) when a guarantor is involved, and TXR 2008 Addendum Regarding Lead-Based Paint (Lease) (rev 2003-10-14) for properties built before 1978.
Commercial leases carry more negotiated variables than residential ones, and TXR has a dedicated addendum for most of them rather than forcing everything into the base TXR 2101 document. Fee and expense structure: TXR 2102 Commercial Lease Addendum for Broker's Fee (rev 2022-07-08) and TXR 2103 Commercial Lease Addendum for Expense Reimbursement (rev 2010-01-26) for triple-net and similar arrangements. Retail deals often need TXR 2106 Commercial Lease Addendum for Percentage Rent (rev 2022-07-08).
Leasing and property management overlap constantly, and they have their own form set. TXR 2201 Residential Leasing and Property Management Agreement (rev 2026-01-05) is the engagement agreement between an owner and a brokerage, with TXR 2206 Owner's Notice Concerning Condition of Property Under Property Management Agreement documenting known property conditions up front. Changes to that agreement run through TXR 2221 Amendment to Residential Leasing and Property Management Agreement, and ending it uses TXR 2222 Notice of Termination of Residential Leasing and Property Management Agreement (rev 2025-02-03).
If two different brokerages are involved in placing a tenant, TXR 2002 Agreement Between Brokers for Residential Leases (rev 2003-10-14) sets the terms between them.
One compliance note that matters for agents evaluating sponsorship: ongoing property management activity isn't covered the same way as a one-off lease or sale. It requires PMC sponsorship with the broker's express approval, and the PMC entity carries its own E&O insurance for that work — it isn't included the way it is for Individual and Team sponsorship.
Knowing which form you need is half the battle; filling, sending, and filing it is the other half. RaiderX-sponsored agents get EZDocs (currently in beta), which lets you complete lease, addendum, amendment, and notice forms — TXR 2001, TXR 2006, TXR 2014, and the rest of the forms above — from a guided form inside the app instead of hunting for the right PDF revision.
Every current TREC form is instant-fill in EZDocs today, with TXR coverage growing steadily; the live, current count of supported TXR forms is on /features/ezdocs. Once a form is complete, EZDocs sends it out for e-signature with no per-signature fee, and the signed copy files itself into the deal record automatically — no separate upload step, no version confusion later.
This sits alongside the rest of what RaiderX-sponsored agents get: 100% commission for Individual partners (team, LLC, and PMC agents have a split set by their leader or owner), a modern CRM and lead management, AI-powered productivity tools, transaction and compliance management, and dedicated broker support. If you want to see how sponsorship pricing compares to a traditional commission split, /pricing and /compare break it down.
No. TREC promulgates contract forms for sales (like the One to Four Family Residential Contract), but the standard residential lease used across Texas is TXR 2001, a Texas REALTORS® form, not a TREC form. TREC's standalone lease instruments are the temporary residential leases used for short-term occupancy around a sale closing (TREC 15-7 and TREC 16-7); TREC also promulgates TREC 51-1 (Addendum Regarding Residential Leases), an addendum used within a residential or farm & ranch sales contract when a lease is part of the transaction, rather than a standalone lease agreement.
TXR 2001 is the standard Residential Lease for a single-family property. TXR 2011 is used specifically when leasing an individual unit within a multi-family property. They're structured differently to account for shared common areas and multi-unit terms, so they aren't interchangeable.
No. These are the Seller's and Buyer's Temporary Residential Lease forms — short-term occupancy agreements tied to a home sale closing, used when a seller needs a few extra days after closing or a buyer needs to move in before closing finalizes. They're not designed as standalone, long-term tenant leases.
TXR 2003 Residential Lease Application is typically completed by a prospective tenant first. Once an applicant is approved, the agent moves to the lease itself (TXR 2001 or TXR 2011), often alongside TXR 2006 (Residential Lease Inventory and Condition Form) to document the property's condition at move-in.
Access to TREC forms is generally tied to license and association membership status, and TXR forms typically require Texas REALTORS® membership. Your brokerage's tools also matter here: RaiderX-sponsored agents can fill current TREC forms and a growing library of TXR forms directly through EZDocs, with e-signature and automatic filing into the deal record.
EZDocs lets you fill lease, addendum, amendment, and notice forms — like TXR 2001, TXR 2006, and TXR 2014 — from a guided form inside the app, then send them for e-signature with no per-signature fee. The signed copy is filed into the deal automatically. It's currently in beta, with every current TREC form instant-fill and TXR coverage growing.
