Texas Lease and Lead (Pb) in houses built before 1978

As I understand it, if landlord of a house built before 1978 in Texas, you’re obligated to send a pdf to the tenant regarding “potential for lead in the house“

I have a house built in 1977. How would I know or confirm if there’s lead in the house should tenants have questions?

Would my inspection tell me that?  I lived in the house 20 years but don’t recall anything about Lead being in the house.

@Steve S.. I'm a REALTOR - I have to provide the form and disclosure - it's not an Option for me!

The same rules apply to private landlords as it's a HUD requirement to disclose:
