If you’re a Fort Worth homeowner reviewing a solar lease, loan, PPA, or purchase contract you regret signing, you’re not alone. Fort Worth sits in Oncor’s service territory — the same utility footprint as Dallas — and has been heavily targeted by the same wave of door-to-door solar sales operations that drove Dallas County to lead Texas in solar complaints.
Fort Worth homeowners face an additional layer of complexity: the area’s mix of Oncor-served subdivisions, multiple Retail Electric Providers, and active HOA enforcement of solar siting rules.

SCRC is a marketing and intake service. SCRC collects and organizes information from Fort Worth homeowners and connects qualifying individuals with Consumer Advocacy Law Group, the law firm that handles solar contract matters under Texas law. The homeowner provides their documentation. A qualified attorney may review whether the contract may be a potential issue under applicable Texas law.
Step 1 — Free Intake. The Fort Worth homeowner submits their information through the form on this page or by calling 888-918-2083. SCRC collects and organizes basic information about the contract and the homeowner’s concerns.
Step 2 — Document Collection. The homeowner provides their documentation, including the original contract, financing paperwork, sales communications, and any related correspondence. SCRC organizes the documentation; SCRC does not analyze it.
Step 3 — Attorney Review. Documents may be reviewed by Consumer Advocacy Law Group, a qualified law firm that handles solar contract matters. The law firm independently determines whether the homeowner may be eligible for legal review.
Step 4 — Engagement Decision. If the attorney determines the homeowner may qualify for legal review, the homeowner and the law firm may enter into an engagement directly. SCRC is not a party to that engagement and does not provide legal services.
Step 5 — Resolution. Any contract challenge proceeds under the law firm’s direction. SCRC’s role is limited to the intake, document collection, and referral steps above.
The questions below are general information. They are not legal advice. SCRC is not a law firm and cannot provide legal answers. A qualified attorney may review your specific situation.
Texas Property Code §202.010 protects your right to install solar but preserves specific HOA authorities — including the right to require prior written approval. If your salesperson told you the HOA “didn’t matter” or that approval was already handled when it wasn’t, document those representations. Submit your information for a free intake. A qualified attorney may review whether the misrepresentation may be a potential issue under SB 1036 or the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and may review your options regarding the HOA dispute.
Yes — Fort Worth and Dallas are both in Oncor’s service territory and use the same Residential Solar Program. The rebate requires battery storage paired with the solar system; solar-only systems are not eligible. Rebate amounts depend on equipment, location, shading, and program funding availability. If your sales presentation quoted a rebate amount that didn’t materialize, document the original quote and submit your information for a free intake.
Fort Worth’s fast-moving Tarrant County housing market makes lease-related home sale issues especially common. Buyers and lenders frequently object to assuming a long-term solar lease, and UCC-1 filings on the solar equipment can complicate title work. Submit your information for a free intake — a qualified attorney may review whether your underlying solar contract may be subject to challenge, which may affect your options before the home sale closes.
Possibly. The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act has a two-year statute of limitations from the date the deceptive act occurred or was discovered. Federal TILA rescission rights are much shorter — typically three business days. SB 1036’s five-business-day cancellation right applies to contracts signed on or after September 1, 2025. Other claims, including breach of contract or fraud, may carry longer limitations periods. A qualified attorney may review the specific timing of your situation.
No. The initial intake is free. The homeowner submits their information; SCRC collects and organizes it; documents may be reviewed by a qualified law firm. There is no obligation to proceed.
The original solar contract (lease, loan, PPA, or purchase agreement), any financing documents, the proposal or sales presentation, text messages or emails with the salesperson, monthly statements, recent electric bills, and any correspondence with the solar company or finance company about issues that have come up. The homeowner provides this documentation; SCRC organizes it.
No. A UCC-1 financing statement filed in connection with a residential solar contract is filed against the solar equipment, not against the home itself. However, title companies, lenders, and home buyers often treat the UCC-1 as an encumbrance during home sales or refinances, which is why so many homeowners discover the filing only when they try to sell or refinance.
