Is it legal to bird dog in Texas without a license?

[Caleb L.]

I'm thinking of bird dogging in Texas to start out in my real estate investing. And hopefully save enough money to start buying rentals. 

I've been trying to find out if I can bird dog in Texas without a license. I couldn't find many helpful posts about if it's legal in Texas or not. So I'm trying to get a straight answer. Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks y'all!

@Caleb L. @Josh Oaten I personally do not see a place for a bird dog in the world of large apartment complexes. Operators already have relationships with the brokers and are much more likely to see an off market or "pocket listing". 

As far as the legal side goes I would recommend speaking to a real estate attorney in Texas as they will be able to give you the best advice. 

I have heard of bird dogging in the single-family space for flippers and wholesalers. I would just speak to an attorney first so you can appropriately conduct business.
