Appendix I, Assignments of Contracts

Printer-friendly version

Revision 98-1; Effective January 15, 1998

§49.5. Contract Assignment.

(a) A contract assignment must be made as part of an ownership change, a change in tax status, or a transfer from one legal entity to another through a legal process. No assignment is effective until approved, in writing, by the Texas Department of Human Services (DHS).

(b) If the provider agency plans to assign a contract, the assignor must inform the appropriate DHS staff, in writing, at least 60 days before assigning the contract. This notification must include the legal name of the entity that will be assuming the contract and must be submitted as soon as the provider agency decides to assign the contract. If the provider agency fails to provide this information in a timely manner, the contract assignment may be delayed. DHS reserves the right to deny any assignment if it is not in the best interest of DHS or its clients.

(c) If a contract assignment application is not completed according to subsection (e) of this section, DHS considers it unacceptable and returns it to the assignor.

(d) If the assignee does not meet the conditions for contracting, DHS immediately terminates the assignor's contract and transfers all clients to another provider agency.

(e) Before an assignment is made, the assignee must follow the requirements stipulated in paragraphs (1)-(3) of this subsection:

(1) resolve all audits completed or in progress;

(2) prepare a contract assignment agreement which includes the following statements:

(A) the reason(s) for the contract assignment;

(B) that both the assignee and assignor are each responsible for collecting and reporting financial and statistical data on DHS's cost report that corresponds to its respective contract periods;

(D) any adverse action pending or in place when the contract is assigned is applied to both the assignee and the assignor;

(E) the assignee adheres to the service contract, reimbursement method and amount, service delivery requirements, and standards established by DHS; and

(F) the assignee meets all service criteria for being a provider agency. Documentation of eligibility must be provided before DHS will agree to a contract assignment;

(3) include the following information in the contract assignment agreement:

(A) identify both legal entities;

(B) identify the current contract number(s) and service(s) to be assigned;

(D) include a line for DHS's representative to sign and approve.

(f) The effective date of the contract assignment is the first day of the following month after the application has been fully processed by DHS. DHS may award a contract at an earlier date if it is in DHS's best interest.

All contract assignments must be completed according to these guidelines. Format and context of the contract assignment must be followed before the contract assignment can be made. Additionally, the assignee must complete a new enrollment application.

The contract assignment packet, which includes the assignee's enrollment application and the contract assignment, must be completed and returned to:

Texas Department of Human Services Community Care Section, MC W-521 P.O. Box 149030 Austin Texas 78714-9030

DHS's Office of General Counsel must review and approve all contract assignments prior to their execution. The effective date of the contract assignment is the first day of the month after the application has been fully processed.

ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT Document

This agreement serves to assign one party’s interest in a contract to a third-party, thereby typically releasing the assigning party from any further liability thereunder. In Texas, an assignment does not have to necessarily be agreed to by the second party to the contract unless the contract says otherwise, or if the contract calls for certain specific personal obligations. However, it is good practice to get all parties to sign off on the assignment in order to secure an adequate release of liability in favor of the assigning party.

Title Tip: Do Your Homework on Assigning Contracts

Share News:

Assignment of a real estate contract is looked upon with suspicion by lots of folks. While it is not legal in all states, under Texas law, contracts are assignable unless there is a specific clause in the contract that prohibits it.

There are some sellers who become upset when they discover that the person buying their property is not really the person buying their property. That their buyer has sold the right to purchase the home to someone else at a higher price.

Assignment of a contract is when someone enters into a written agreement to purchase a property from a seller and then that person assigns their interest to someone else. Typically, this is done when the original purchaser is a wholesaler. We will call them the Assignor. They find a property, put the property under contract and then find someone else (an Assignee) to whom they sell the contract for a fee.

The Assignor hands off the contract’s benefits to the Assignee while the property is still under contract. They may do this without the consent of the seller. But … there’s always a but.

While the Assignor may sell his or her rights in the contract to an Assignee, it does not relieve the Assignor of his or her duties and obligations. The Assignor still has responsibilities to the seller under the terms of the contract. If the Assignee doesn’t perform under the contract, then the Assignor is in default. The Assignor usually maintains obligations under the contract. This is where you contact a real estate attorney if you have an issue.

Some people view the business of a real estate wholesaler as shady. They don’t like the idea of someone ‘flipping’ the contract for a higher price. However, wholesalers earn their living by legitimately finding bargains and reselling them at a profit. They usually target rundown or distressed properties. Then they find buyers who may be looking to remodel or flip the property. Like anyone, they do it to earn a profit.

Maybe the disdain is because the wholesaler doesn’t actually purchase the home. They’re a middleman. Folks who oppose the idea of assigning a contract feel that the purchaser should only enter into a contract to purchase a property if they honestly intent to purchase the property.

Since anyone being paid in the transaction must be disclosed on the closing statement, the seller can see that there is another buyer paying more for the property. That doesn’t usually happen until closing time. Then money and the property changes hands. The buyer is the Assignee. The Assignor never takes title or possession of the property.

The Buyer/Assignee may then rehab the property and resell it. Like a board game, the property then passes to someone else.

Lydia Blair (formerly Lydia Player) was a successful Realtor for 10 years before jumping to the title side of the business in 2015. Prior to selling real estate, she bought, remodeled and sold homes (before house flipping was an expression). She’s been through the real estate closing process countless times as either a buyer, a seller, a Realtor, and an Escrow Officer. As an Escrow Officer for Allegiance Title at Preston Center, she likes solving problems and cutting through red tape. The most fun part of her job is handing people keys or a check.

Great article Lydia!!! So many agents think that the Buyer on a contract must have “AND/OR ASSIGNS” at the end of the Buyer’s name for a contract to be assignable but that is simply NOT true. Contracts are assignable unless the contract specifically prohibits it!

Great article, Lydia! The wholesale market is very active in DFW. Almost every investment group I know teaches it as a method to make a profit. I’ve seen MLS listed properties come across through my inbox as investor “deals”. Realtors and Investors alike – Do your research!

(a) A party may perform his duty through a delegate unless otherwise agreed or unless the other party has a substantial interest in having his original promisor perform or control the acts required by the contract. No delegation of performance relieves the party delegating of any duty to perform or any liability for breach.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed all rights of either seller or buyer can be assigned except where the assignment would materially change the duty of the other party, or increase materially the burden or risk imposed on him by his contract, or impair materially his chance of obtaining return performance. A right to damages for breach of the whole contract or a right arising out of the assignor's due performance of his entire obligation can be assigned despite agreement otherwise.

(c) The creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in the seller's interest under a contract is not a transfer that materially changes the duty of or increases materially the burden or risk imposed on the buyer or impairs materially the buyer's chance of obtaining return performance within the purview of Subsection (b) unless, and then only to the extent that, enforcement actually results in a delegation of material performance of the seller. Even in that event, the creation, attachment, perfection, and enforcement of the security interest remain effective, but (i) the seller is liable to the buyer for damages caused by the delegation to the extent that the damages could not reasonably be prevented by the buyer, and (ii) a court having jurisdiction may grant other appropriate relief, including cancellation of the contract for sale or an injunction against enforcement of the security interest or consummation of the enforcement.

(d) Unless the circumstances indicate the contrary a prohibition of assignment of “the contract” is to be construed as barring only the delegation to the assignee of the assignor's performance.

(e) An assignment of “the contract” or of “all my rights under the contract” or an assignment in similar general terms is an assignment of rights and unless the language or the circumstances (as in an assignment for security) indicate the contrary, it is a delegation of performance of the duties of the assignor and its acceptance by the assignee constitutes a promise by him to perform those duties. This promise is enforceable by either the assignor or the other party to the original contract.

(f) The other party may treat any assignment which delegates performance as creating reasonable grounds for insecurity and may without prejudice to his rights against the assignor demand assurances from the assignee ( Section 2.609 ).
