In the competitive Texas real estate market, a handshake isn't enough to protect your staging inventory and professional reputation. Whether you are scaling your business or co-investing in high-end furniture, a robust Partnership Agreement is essential to navigate industry-specific risks like property damage during 'Occupied Staging' and the ownership of 'MLS Photos'. This agreement ensures compliance with the Texas Business and Commerce Code, clarifies management control, and establishes clear protocols for dispute resolution, protecting your capital contributions and labor investment from the unique liabilities of the staging trade.
Beyond the standard partnership agreement sections, this template adds fields specific to Home Staging Professional:
A Partnership Agreement legally establishes the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of each partner involved in a business partnership. Its core purpose is to detail how the partnership will operate, distribute profits and losses, and outline procedures for resolving disputes and handling eventualities such as withdrawal or death of a partner.
Property Damage
Contracts typically include clauses that limit liability for accidental damage to client property, or specify responsibilities for repairs and replacements.
Personal Injury
Staging contracts often include hold harmless or indemnification clauses protecting the stager from injuries sustained by the client, visitors, or third parties during the staging process.
For this partnership agreement to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50, any non-compete agreement within your partnership must be ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement. This is a stricter standard than many other states, requiring your staging partnership to have a clearly defined business interest—such as protecting trade secrets or specialized staging techniques—at the time the agreement is signed.
Yes. While the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) primarily protects consumers, your partnership agreement should include indemnification clauses that protect individual partners from liability arising from consumer protection claims related to staging consultations or furniture leasing services provided to high-net-worth clients.
Your agreement should explicitly define 'Staging Inventory' as a capital contribution or partnership asset. Given the risk of property damage or personal injury during physical staging (governed by OSHA standards), the agreement must specify how insurance gaps are funded and which partner is responsible for inventory maintenance and replacement costs.
While not strictly required for a partnership to exist under the 'at-will' doctrine or Texas Lab. Code, notarizing your Partnership Agreement is highly recommended for evidentiary purposes in the event of a breach of contract or when opening a business bank account in Texas.
