True or False: Senate Bill 489 outlawed subagency in Texas.

Senate Bill 489 did not outlaw subagency in Texas; therefore, the correct response is that the statement is false. In the context of real estate, subagency refers to a situation where a real estate agent represents the interests of a seller while another agent (the subagent) assists in representing that seller's property to potential buyers, typically without a direct contractual relationship with the seller.

Senate Bill 489 did not eliminate this practice, and subagency remains a permissible model in certain scenarios within Texas real estate transactions. It's vital for agents and brokers to understand the nuances of agency relationships, including how subagency functions, its implications for disclosure, and the duties owed to clients and customers in such arrangements.

Therefore, since Senate Bill 489 did not outlaw subagency, the notion is false, justifying the selection of that answer. The other statements, whether suggesting it is only for commercial or residential properties or that it is outright true, do not accurately reflect the bill's contents or the current regulatory framework regarding subagency in Texas.
