A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the cancellation of certain consumer transactions.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Section 601.002(b), Business & Commerce Code, is

amended to read as follows:

(b) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), this chapter does not

apply to:

(1) a purchase of farm equipment;

(2) an insurance sale regulated by the Texas

Department of Insurance;

(3) a sale of goods or services made:

(A) under a preexisting revolving charge account

or retail charge agreement; or

(B) after negotiations between the parties at a

business establishment in a fixed location where goods or services

are offered or exhibited for sale; [
or
]

(4) a sale of real property if:

(A) the purchaser is represented by a licensed

attorney;

(B) the transaction is negotiated by a licensed

real estate broker; or

(C) the transaction is negotiated at a place

other than the consumer's residence by the person who owns the

property
;

(5)

a service contract regulated under Chapter 1304,

Occupations Code, by the Texas Department of Licensing and

Regulation; or
