- How the duty of Obedience is strictly limited to lawful instructions, a common exam trap.
- Why the duty of Confidentiality extends forever and survives the termination of the agency relationship in Texas.
- The critical distinction between the fiduciary duty of Disclosure to a client versus the general duty to disclose known property defects to all parties.
- The serious consequences for breaching a fiduciary duty in Texas, including license revocation by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC).
