As a member of RGVAA, you can purchase the TAA lease contracts and forms designed to help you operate your business more efficiently, cost-effectively, and, most importantly, in compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances. These forms are the most recognized and comprehensive lease contracts and property management forms in the state and nation. They are specifically created to protect both the owner/manager and resident and are copyrighted. You can buy hard copy forms through the RGVAA office, or soft copy through BlueMoon Software. You will not find any other form to be as complete and updated every two years as the legislation changes.

BlueMoon Software provides you 24/7 online access to over 30 standardized forms, including Lease Contracts, Rental Applications, Inventory and Condition Forms, Pet Agreement, Contract Guaranty Form, and many more.

It includes samples of all the TAA lease forms, management forms, and legal articles. The REDBOOK is availble revised every two years. TAA's REDBOOK Online and mobile app are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, wherever you are.
