Lease Option Alternative in Texas

I’m new to this forum so forgive me if this has already been discussed. I’ve got a property that I’d like to lease option (or some form of) but it’s in Texas and lease options have become fraught with hazards here. I spoke with an investor a few days ago who said he uses a “right of first refusal” in order to essentially perform the same transaction but obviously within the limits of the law. Does anyone know anything about this or any other means of accomplishing the same ends? Basically, I just need to fill a property that’s eating me alive and I’d like to get as much of a down payment as possible since nobody that wants the house seems to have anything in the way of credit. Any advice would be appreciated as I can’t seem to get any attorneys to answer this one for me. Thanks.

Nevermind, I just discovered the “search” function! lol

I sent you a PM.
