However, when I read over some of Texas law I see this:1) S.A.F.E Act - Seller is required to be licensed (Residential Mortgage Loan Origination (RMLO) license from the Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending when property is not seller's homestead and/or sale is not to family member.2) Also, I read that after 2005 Texas regulation changes - owner financing deal is recorded with county and a trustee has the deed instead of seller. 

No criminal record.
