Agency
A Texas listing agent who wants to withdraw from representation of the seller before the listing expires may do so only:
AAt any time for any reason
BFor legitimate reasons such as the seller refusing to follow lawful advice, or with the seller's written consent, subject to the listing agreement terms✓ Correct
CAfter giving 30 days written notice to TREC
DOnly after the property receives an offer
Explanation
While an agent can generally withdraw from representation, they cannot unilaterally abandon a client without justification. Legitimate reasons include the seller refusing to follow ethical advice, threats, or other circumstances making continuation untenable. The listing agreement and its terms govern. The agent should consult their broker and possibly an attorney before withdrawing.
