BEFORE PURCHASING THIS PROPERTY, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT AN INSURANCE AGENT REGARDING THE INSURANCE COVERAGE AVAILABLE TO YOU AS A BUYER OF THE PROPERTY.
(b) The disclosure statement required under Subsection (a) must be dated and signed by the wrap borrower when the wrap borrower receives the statement.
(c) The finance commission by rule shall adopt a model disclosure statement that satisfies the requirements of Subsection (a).
(d) If the disclosure statement required under Subsection (a) and any disclosure required by Section 159.102 are received by the wrap borrower on or before the closing date of the wrap mortgage loan, the wrap borrower may rescind the wrap mortgage loan agreement and any related purchase agreement or other agreement relating to the loan transaction not later than the seventh day after the date of receipt of the disclosure statement, regardless of whether the disclosure is timely made. On rescission under this subsection, the wrap borrower is entitled to a return of any earnest money, escrow amounts, down payment, or other fees or charges paid in connection with the wrap mortgage loan, the related purchase transaction, and any other related transaction.
