The 2019 supplement, included with purchase of the manual, incorporates relevant statutory and case law handed down since 2017. Practice notes were added about the duty to report ethical violations and the peer assistance program alternative, including the Texas Lawyers’ Assistance Program (TLAP), and the manual was updated to reflect the current status of the Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act (PTFA) and to include the latest versions of IRS forms and instructions.

Background searches, deficiency suits, and judicial foreclosures are also covered. In addition to all this, this manual includes 49 articles from the TexasBarCLE Online Library (accessible via the digital download), as well as a county appendix that lists designated sale sites, county websites, and appraisal district websites to all 254 Texas counties. The Texas Foreclosure Manual Digital Download, containing the hard copy’s forms in Word, is included at no charge with purchase of the hard copy and may also be purchased separately.
