TEXAS wholesaling contracts

Even though I can purchase,  I am starting with wholesaling doing assignments. I was told to get a home under contract via the Option to Purchase contract (include a consideration fee given to the seller) and getting all signatures done with a copy given to the seller. Then finding an end buyer and filling out a Purchase Agreement and the Assignment Contract.

Well, I consulted an attorney and he says this is NOT how it is done. :-/  :-/  He says even if you are planning to assign, that the wholesaler needs to have: 1. Option to Purchase Contract signed with seller and wholesaler  2. Exhibit A -a page with the legal description of the property  3. A purchase agreement between wholesaler and the seller.  He says now I can find an end buyer and have him fill out the Assignment Contract and at this point he will now own my Option to Purchase Contract and my Purchase Agreement.

I have properties(sellers) coming to me and about 5 cash buyers waiting for wks! But I'm spinning my wheels bc of these contract issues.

Thought?? Texas folks please as I need to follow TX laws.

Thank you.

where does one find these contracts? Asked title company and she basically said they do not provide them. Then referred us to TREC. Bottom line, I cannot find all contracts. What do I do?
