Supreme Court of Texas

An annual statement provided by the seller of real property, which omits some of the information required by section 5.077(b) of the Texas Property Code, does not invoke liquidated damages under section 5.077(c) unless the statement is so deficient as to be something other than a good faith attempt to inform the purchaser of the status of the contractual relationship.
