Explanation
Under contract law, acceptance must be communicated to be effective. A signed offer that is not yet communicated to the offeror (buyer) has not formed a binding contract. In Texas real estate, acceptance occurs when the signed contract is delivered to the buyer or the buyer's agent, creating the contract's effective date.
