Assessment is conducted with only a visual inspection. During
this Home Condition Assessment as described above, no
mechanical, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or other is manually
inspected that requires a Texas Real Estate Commission
Inspector’s license.
We recommend to all owners requiring a more inclusive
inspection to allow us to arrange for a Texas Real Estate
Commission licensed inspector to conduct a full mechanical
inspection of the home with a written report.
The cost for this inspection is dependent on the size of the home,
and the additional items requiring inspection by the owner
(example: septic system, or in-ground pool).
These costs may range from $400 to $1,000 per inspection.
Provide a quote for our home for this type of inspection.

for $85.00.

become necessary to perform required maintenance to a home
at the time of the assessment. It is the policy of Captex Property
Management and in compliance with the Texas Property Code

31. OPTIONAL DAMAGE ASSURANCE
One of the biggest fears of all rental property owners is renting
to a tenant that will cause significant damage to their property,
costing them thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs. Many
of our owners have expressed concern over the horror stories
they hear about tenants destroying homes they rent. This is a
real possibility and we have addressed this issue by offering
our owners Damage Assurance to cover these potential
unexpected repair costs caused by an outgoing tenant that
exceed their security deposit.
This program is designed to cover damages exceeding the
Security Deposits caused by a tenant that fall outside of the
Home Owners Insurance policy, and excludes fair wear and
tear. These fair wear and tear standards are in accordance with
the Texas State Property Code chapter 92.
www.texaspropertycode.org (Maximum Amount of Claim will
not exceed $7,500.00)
Example: Homeowner rents their home for $1,500 per month.
The security deposit for this home is $1,500, but there is $3,000
in damages to the interior of the home, excluding fair wear and
tear, caused from negligence by the tenant and occupants.
Captex Property Management will cover the expenses to
complete these repairs that total more than the security deposits
in order to bring the home back to a rentable condition.
With DAMAGE ASSURANCE Captex Property Management
will cover ALL of the above costs for $7.00 per month caused
by a tenant considered to be above normal wear and tear, and
that exceeds the received security deposit.
By agreeing to this program, the homeowner will subjugate all
rights to pursue any and all debts incurred to Noteworthy
Properties LLC, dba Captex Property Management, against
the tenant. Damage Assurance is only offered to owners who
have allowed Captex Property Management to properly
screen their tenants through our application process, and those
tenants that complete a lease agreement both written and
executed with Captex Property Management. This program
excludes fire claims, water claims, natural disaster claims, owner
negligence, or any portion of a claim that can be covered by
the homeowner’s insurance policy they are required to carry per
the Captex Property Management Property Management
Agreement.

Damage Assurance for a charge of $7.00 (seven) per

32. OPTIONAL RENT PROTECTION
If an eviction becomes necessary at your property, and the
tenant refuses to leave the home after a late notice, and court
order for an eviction hearing have been served Captex
Property Management offers a program that will guarantee a
continued 30 days of income to the owner. Given that most
evictions take around 30 - 45 days this will further prevent
unforeseen losses to an owner should an eviction be necessary.
Every effort will be made to mitigate losses by working with a
bad tenant but this program will ensure owners will receive
One Month’s worth of rental compensation while a tenant is
being removed.
Captex Property Management will pay the owner One
Month’s rental income if a tenant is evicted by the courts and
forced to vacate with a writ of possession being executed by
law enforcement.
Example: A tenant stops paying rent and is late after the 3
rd
of
the month, Captex Property Management will post notice to
vacate, file an eviction, the constable will serve the tenant
papers at their home, we will attend eviction court, file for a
writ of possession, and meet the Sheriff Deputy to execute the
writ of possession by moving all of the tenant’s possessions off
the property. If a tenant refuses to leave and is forced to vacate
by law enforcement Captex Property Management will
reimburse owner the equivalent of One Month’s rent.
Scenario: Home rents for $1,500 per month - Tenant is removed
via Writ of Possession.
***WITH Rent Protection Owner is reimbursed $1,500 in lost
rental income***
The monthly fee is $20.00 to participate in this program.
This program does not cover early terminations, tenants
vacating with a military or court order clause, abandonments,
or mitigated move outs. In most cases where a tenant willingly
vacates a home, the home would go back to the possession of
the owner immediately to re-rent immediately, which would
minimize any income losses. By agreeing to this program, the
homeowner will subjugate all rights to pursue any and all debts
incurred to Noteworthy Properties LLC, dba Captex Property
Management, against the tenant. Rent Protection is only
offered to owners who have allowed Captex Property
Management to properly screen their tenants through our
application process, and those tenants that complete a lease
agreement both written and executed with Captex Property
Management. [ no ] In this box type “YES” or “NO”
if you want Rent Protection for a charge of $20.00
(twenty) per month.

33. OPTIONAL EVICTION ASSURANCE
With the cost of an eviction at an extremely high rate, Captex
Property Management has come up with a solution to further
protect unexpected costs incurred in removing a tenant from a
home. If an eviction becomes necessary at your property,
Captex Property Management will cover all costs incurred in
removing a tenant from your home for an annual fee of $96
or $8 a month. Without such coverage, Captex Property
Management charges $75 per hour for the eviction process. In
comparison, this is very inexpensive when compared to an
attorney who would charge $300 an hour. A typical eviction
in the Austin market would run these costs:
