Thank you for your follow-up.

The reason I ask is because many states have rules on disclosure of defects, and most states have rules on disclosure for passing on the premises, be it natural or self-induced. In Texas, the law expressly states that the realtor or the seller do not have to inform you of this information. Because of that, I really do not see a cause of action here, and that is why I asked about potentially other defects, so as to see if pursuit of those other potential claims could be possible.

Here is the law, as it currently exists:

Section 5.008(c) A seller or seller’s agent shall have no duty to make a disclosure or release information related to whether a death by natural causes, suicide, or accident unrelated to the condition of the property occurred on the property or whether a previous occupant had, may have had, has, or may have AIDS, HIV related illnesses, or HIV infection.

I am sorry.
