Text messages will hold up in court so I always watch what I put into them.

Anything can be argued for or agasint. The winner then makes it so. Texting is admissable but binding?

Not in Oregon. Text messages can be used to support receipt of information or verification of intent, but contracts need to be signed in order to be binding. But e signature works just fine.

I'm not an attorney but I would not be surprised if a court would rule in that direction. Email can certainly be an issue as well I would think. Good question for an attorney.

Text messages are trackable, however they cannot be used a legal contract in Missouri. They are considered verbal agreements not written offers.

Not that I'm aware of. A contract will still need to be signed in Texas so text or email will not suffice.

It doesn't matter to me because it's now how I do business. No way would I attempt to negotiate via text. Put it on the form or the counter offer form. That's how we roll at my office.

As far as I know..NO however I have clients that like to do everything by text so I when necessary I always confirm with an email which goes into the file.
