Under Business Personal Property Forms, select Personal Property Rendition. How do I fill out the rendition form?In most cases, the option fee and earnest money must be delivered to the escrow agent within 3 days after the effective date of the contract. Typically the escrow period is 30 days. That's just about enough time to get everything done that is required in a typical real estate sale. For other questions you may have, please contact the Office of the Tax Assessor-Collector at 210-335-2251 for personalized assistance. Escrow is placing funds in a trust or the custody of a third party, such as a real estate lawyer, until certain conditions have been met. 30 days is a very tight timeline to apply with and close with a new lender.

Immediately on the Effective Date, both Buyer and Seller must execute and record a Memorandum of Option in the Real Property Records of Bexar County,.
