They aren't illegal, but they come with numerous very specific and strenuous parameters to keep from being classified as an executory contract (contract for deed) in Texas, and as an executory contract, be liable for some extreme penalties (up to $250 per day liability from the day of sale).Now you can do 1 lease option per year and not have to worry about being liable for more than $100 per infraction, which at the most would be about $1,000.
