Separate program administrators, show when each source was checked, and give buyers the official next step. Add a buyer question form that records the program and location the visitor wants to discuss. This is a brief for the page an agent commissions. The proposed layout, form, and acceptance checks are editorial recommendations. Supply your actual service area, approved business identity, and receiving contact before building it. ## Give the directory a clear boundary Open with the Texas locations you serve and what you can help a buyer discuss. Keep the directory readable without registration. Put official program destinations beside your own contact action. The [TDHCA homebuyer homepage, checked 2026.10.13](https://welcomehome.tdhca.texas.gov/), connects visitors with an eligibility check, approved loan officers, homebuyer education, and real estate specialists. Use those destinations as the starting point for a source record. For your own website, add the local question the visitor wants answered, the administrator responsible for that answer, and a visible review date. Keep a program link separate from an inquiry to your business. Rules and programs vary by state and change. Confirm assistance terms and availability with the program administrator and participating lender. Confirm transaction wording with your broker or attorney before publishing it. The official Texas sources below are dated starting points for that review. - [Build a Florida down payment assistance page for your agent website](/articles/florida-down-payment-assistance-agent-page) - [Build a California down payment assistance page for your agent website](/articles/california-down-payment-assistance-agent-page) - [Build an Ohio down payment assistance page for your agent website](/articles/ohio-down-payment-assistance-agent-page) - [Build an Arizona down payment assistance page for your agent website](/articles/arizona-down-payment-assistance-agent-page) ## Separate TDHCA, TSAHC, and local entries TDHCA lists My First Texas Home and My Choice Texas Home separately. Its overview describes first-time buyer exceptions for the former. The latter does not require first-time buyer status. [TDHCA programs, checked 2026.10.13](https://welcomehome.tdhca.texas.gov/programs). TSAHC identifies Homes for Texas Heroes and Home Sweet Texas as distinct programs. Its page provides a Path Finder quiz, participating lender search, and education resources. [TSAHC program overview, checked 2026.10.13](https://www.tsahc.org/homebuyers-renters/loans-and-down-payment-assistance/). Use separate directory entries with separate sources. Ask the relevant administrator or lender to confirm which program a buyer should discuss. Keep the initial directory small enough for its assigned editor to maintain. | Proposed entry | Official destination | Detail to confirm before publication | | --- | --- | --- | | TDHCA My First Texas Home | [TDHCA program overview](https://welcomehome.tdhca.texas.gov/programs), checked 2026.10.13 | Applicable buyer category, exceptions, current terms, and lender handoff | | TDHCA My Choice Texas Home | [TDHCA program overview](https://welcomehome.tdhca.texas.gov/programs), checked 2026.10.13 | Current requirements and lender handoff for the buyer's circumstances | | TSAHC programs | [TSAHC program overview](https://www.tsahc.org/homebuyers-renters/loans-and-down-payment-assistance/), checked 2026.10.13 | Program selection, assistance structure, and participating lender | | A city or county resource within your service area | Its administering agency's current page | Property boundary, application status, and official contact route | Treat that table as a page specification. It is a starting set of sources, rather than a complete Texas program inventory. For each entry, record the administrator, program name, coverage source, last check, and next review owner. Link to current requirements rather than reproducing an eligibility table you cannot maintain. If you later publish an income threshold, assistance amount, rate, or other eligibility figure, require a dated official source and lender review. Record the rule's applicable geography and category beside it. Hold the figure until both checks are complete. ## Put availability above the application action Houston's Homebuyer Assistance page provides a useful maintenance example. On 2026.10.13, its notice said available funds were exhausted and additional applications were not being accepted or processed. Application instructions remained elsewhere on the page. [Houston's official notice, checked 2026.10.13](https://houstontx.gov/housing/hap.html). For a Houston entry, show the checked closure notice before any application destination. Ask the administrator to confirm the current status. Keep its official information link available while withholding an invitation to apply through your site. The same city page specifies a property test based on taxes paid to the City of Houston. [Houston's property requirement, checked 2026.10.13](https://houstontx.gov/housing/hap.html). Have the administrator confirm the relevant property boundary before describing a buyer's address as covered. Give your builder distinct labels for verified application status, an unavailable source, and an entry awaiting confirmation. A working link should pass its own check. Application availability needs separate evidence. If an official page becomes unavailable, keep the entry pending review. Do not replace its current status with an older brochure. If sources disagree, remove the disputed summary and identify the question for the administrator. - [Houston down payment assistance: a page brief for real estate agents](/articles/houston-down-payment-assistance-agent-page) ## Keep eligibility review with the program and lender TSAHC's overview distinguishes grants, deferred forgivable second-lien loans, and deferred repayable second-lien loans. [TSAHC assistance structures, checked 2026.10.13](https://www.tsahc.org/homebuyers-renters/loans-and-down-payment-assistance/). Use the specific structure confirmed for the program. Ask the lender to explain applicable repayment or forgiveness conditions before adding those details. Keep tax-credit explanations outside this directory unless their official sources and qualified review are supplied. TDHCA's lender page links to income and purchase-price limits, rate notices, a lender guide, and program matrices. [TDHCA lender resources, checked 2026.10.13](https://welcomehome.tdhca.texas.gov/lenders). Use that resource hub for professional review of a proposed program summary. Give buyers a short list of questions to take to the responsible professional. These prompts define the discussion; they establish no eligibility result: | Question to organize | Destination to confirm | | --- | --- | | Which program should I discuss for this property location? | Program administrator or participating lender | | Is the program accepting applications now? | Program administrator | | What assistance structure and conditions would apply? | Participating lender and program administrator | | What education or documents should I prepare? | Official program instructions and participating lender | | How should this affect a proposed purchase agreement? | Broker or attorney, with lender input where needed | Rules and programs vary by state and change. Reconfirm the relevant program, lender, broker, or attorney answer for the buyer's circumstances. Keep program approval and funding reservation outside the agent inquiry form. ## Collect a buyer question with enough context to answer Label your contact action **Ask about buying in my Texas market**. State who receives the message and what that person can discuss. Publish only the service description your broker approves. Request a name, chosen reply method, intended city or county, optional program selection, and the visitor's question. Include “Not sure” in the program selector. Make approximate purchase timing optional. Carry the directory address, selected entry, and visitor's own wording into the received message. Keep program applications and financial document uploads at the official destination confirmed by the administrator or lender. Use a separate action for opening official program information. Avoid a form confirmation that says the buyer qualifies, has applied for assistance, or has reserved funding. When a visitor also needs to sell a home, offer a separate seller question within your stated service area. Preserve which conversation the person requested. Count received buyer questions and seller questions separately. ## Accept the page against observed checks Assign a person to maintain the sources and a recipient to answer website inquiries. Require the builder to record these checks when the page exists: | Check | Acceptance evidence | | --- | --- | | Directory identity | Each entry names its administrator and links to its own official source | | Geography | Each public coverage statement agrees with its dated source and professional review | | Availability | Visible status agrees with the latest administrator notice; uncertain status remains marked for confirmation | | Program wording | Every published term has a dated official source and the required reviewer | | Changed or broken source | The affected summary goes back to review before replacement wording is published | | Buyer inquiry | A marked, authorized test reaches the agreed recipient with location, selected program, reply details, and full question | | Failure behavior | A failed delivery permits correction or retry without displaying a success claim | | Phone and keyboard use | Visitors can read status labels, open sources, choose an entry, and use the contact action | Retain the submitted values and received test message. Review a displayed confirmation separately from proof of receipt. Record program-link clicks separately from questions received by your business. ## Include the directory in the website brief The Texas assistance plan names the program sources, review owner, and buyer-question destination. Include those directory requirements at [whole website fix: Texas assistance contacts](/for/real-estate). At turnover, a publishing script comes with your whole website fix.
