Understanding the Texas Association of Realtors Pet Agreement

We here at Pop ‘stache adore a great listicle (well, we love lists in general . . . so we are pop listsists?), and we can’t help but enjoy espousing the virtues of what we think makes an article/blog/website/podcast/PopStache truly great, which is why we’re back at it again and giving you our favorite 10 reasons why a legal article on the comprehensive Texas Association of Realtors pet agreements is truly worthy of 10 epic paragraphs on its own. P.S. – Yes, technically this blog post is what might be equivalent to a ‘meta post.’ (That’s a post about a post. . . You know, like a spider web that gets a spider caught and eaten by its own web, or like a big spider that gets stuck trying to eat a big web and has to like call a superhero or something. . . ). So, without further ado and total disregard for all common sense, let’s get into the meat of this taco: (or, Hip Hop it to me) When we first heard about the modern pet agreement from the Texas Association of Realtors we thought, where do we even START critiquing this for creative purposes? And then it hit us while we were examining the subtle nuance of a 3/4 time polka, as compared to a hip hop style written for 32 cellos, that the both of these things – the Texas Association of Realtors Pet Agreement and modern music – have some similarities . . . namely, there’s a lot of rhythm, a lot of modified but repeatable patterns, and there are ‘beats’ to a rhythm – which in the case of the pet agreement refers to clauses and points thereof that will cause you either pain or happiness, depending on the outcome of your negotiations.

So, let’s set aside the metaphorical sounds of competing buildings and instead focus on the beat, the rhythm and the lyrics of this legal tune . . . To give you a better idea of how this ‘new’ Texas Association of Realtors Residential Pet Agreement (yup, you guessed it, the one and only) might be like different styles of music, we give you the following correlations: And if you realize how these music styles correlate with the different parts of a Texas Realtor Residential Pet Agreement, then wow, you’re far above average and may want to looks into our test prep material on Legal Writing and the Texas Realtor forms . . . or, you know, you’re just a little like the rest of us and like the idea of knowing the different options available when drafting a legal agreement.

See, the thing is, when you put words on paper to form legal agreements, you need to make sure that your agreement follows the right beat, and the right rhythm, in order for it to satisfy the intended legal results you expect. With the new Texas REALTOR pet agreement, you now have more choices than ever to help find the right beat and rhythm for your contracts. Many things in life follow specific patterns, including the ways contracts are written. A contract is not unlike a jazz symphony, written to follow certain guidelines, but with opportunities to improvise from the song’s original score. If a contract did not follow the appropriate pattern, it would not be a legally binding contract under Texas law. However, there are many different styles to choose from, including – but not limited to – the following jazz forms:

Now, if we switch from the world of jazz to the world of techno (which is a lot more fun), but in doing so also try to compare genre to genre, which parts of the Texas REALTOR forms act more like a techno music contract and what exactly do those clauses do? Well, if we’re going to compare genre to genre, and treat various parts of a contract as if they were parts of a song, we might say the following:

Now, if you’re still following this train of thought and still reasonably believe that it makes sense, then I’m going to assume that you’ve read the article on the Texas REALTOR Residential Pet Agreement and you know what clauses are in there (if not, go read that article here) and you want a few more examples of how we here at Pop Stash continue to tie things together for our own amusement on a regular basis . . . Okay, so imagine with me for a second if the various parts of a Texas REALTOR pet agreement were to form their own genres of music, the following scenarios would most likely follow: So whether you’re in the mood for classical, contemporary or country, the Texas REALTOR Residential Pet Agreement has a little something for you if you choose to . . . (drumroll please) . . . legally bind your future tenants!
