The paperwork
The TREC forms a Parker County deal can call for
In Texas, the Texas Real Estate Commission publishes the contracts, and you use the one that fits the property. A Parker County deal can call for more than the standard resale contract. Here are the six to know, and what each one is for.

Seller’s Disclosure Notice
It asks whether the house is on septic or public sewer, whether the water comes from the city, a well, a MUD or a co-op, and whether any part of the property sits in a groundwater conservation district.

Three of these contracts changed on July 1, and 61-0 didn’t exist before it. Worth a fresh look, even if you’ve written a hundred land deals.
Wells and water
Water wells in Parker County answer to a groundwater district
Parker County sits inside the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District, which also covers Hood, Wise and Montague counties and is based in Springtown. Three of its rules come up in a sale:
- A new well has to be registered with the district before anyone drills it.
- A new well needs at least two acres, 50 feet from the property line and 150 feet from other registered wells.
- When your buyer takes over a property with an existing well, the new owner files a transfer of ownership with the district.
None of this is hard. It’s just easy to miss if your last ten deals were on city water. A buyer who plans to drill on a five-acre lot and a buyer who’s inheriting the seller’s well need different conversations, and they need them before closing, not after.
Who’s working here
How many agents hold a license in Parker County
TREC publishes every license in the state as open data. On October 14, 2026, 1,514 active licenses listed Parker County: 1,253 sales agents and 261 brokers. 108 of those were first issued in 2026. You can run the same count yourself; the query is in the sources at the bottom.
What the number doesn’t tell you: TREC records one county per license, and nothing about where that agent actually sells. Read it as who’s based here, not who closes here.
The local association is the Greater Metro West Association of REALTORS®, in Weatherford, one of the owners of NTREIS; why that matters for your MLS access is on our Mansfield page.

Common questions
Questions about real estate careers in Parker County
How do I become a real estate agent in Parker County, Texas?
Exactly as you would in Houston or El Paso, because TREC issues one license for the whole state. You need 180 classroom hours to apply, then you pass the state exam, and you need a sponsoring broker before you practice. The license renews every two years, and by the first renewal TREC wants 270 qualifying course hours in total, plus Legal Update I and II. The full path is on our licensing page.
Which REALTOR® association covers Weatherford and Parker County?
The Greater Metro West Association of REALTORS®, based in Weatherford. It serves Parker, Palo Pinto, Eastland and Stephens counties, and it’s one of the associations that own NTREIS. Whichever association you join, your MLS access comes through your broker.
What contract do you use to sell land in Texas?
TREC publishes two. The Unimproved Property Contract (9-18) is for property “that does not have physical buildings, additions or fixtures on the land.” The Farm and Ranch Contract (25-17) is “generally used for rural properties with metes and bounds property description from a survey.” Both were updated on July 1, 2026.
What is TREC form 61-0?
The Seller’s Disclosure about Groundwater and Surface Water Rights, new on July 1, 2026. No other law requires it. The TREC contracts do: Paragraph 7I calls for it unless every statement listed in 7I(3) is true. Its job is to tell a buyer what water rights come with the property.
Do you have to register a water well in Parker County?
A new one, yes. The Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District requires a new well to be registered before it’s drilled. When a property with an existing well changes hands, the new owner files a transfer of ownership with the district.

What we looked for and couldn’t find
- How many Parker County sales are land, acreage or on a well. Nobody publishes it.
- Parker County’s own septic permitting page. It didn’t load for us, so this page says nothing about septic permits.
