Alternatives to selling w/ a lease-option in Texas

[Harvie Arington]

I know that lease-options or rent-to-own in Texas are basically illegal (or at least strictly prohibited), but people are still advertising properties for sale on lease-option and rent-to-own in San Antonio. So I have two questions:

1. How are they getting away with it?
2. What other options are there? What are other investors in Texas doing to creatively sell their properties?
