Buying a manufactured home in Texas requires working with a licensed professional. To help homebuyers locate verified dealer lots, we have plotted every TDHCA-licensed manufactured home retailer in Texas onto an interactive Google My-Map.
1. The Role of Licensed Retailers
A licensed manufactured housing retailer is authorized by the state to display, market, and sell manufactured homes. Under TDHCA rules, only licensed retailers can execute consumer sales contracts and process initial title transfers. Purchasing from an unlicensed dealer invalidates the title chain and blocks financing.
2. How to Use the Interactive Retailer Map
Our spatial visualization map categorizes retailers by active license statuses and geographical regions. Users can:
- Filter dealer locations by county and city to locate the closest physical sales lots.
- Click on any map pin to reveal the business's official TDHCA License Number, corporate name, and verified phone number.
- Identify retailers with active status badges (inspected and confirmed by state audit logs).
3. Title Safety and Closing Workflows
When you buy a home from a dealer, ensure they issue a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO) for new homes, or record the title transfer immediately via the TDHCA portal for resales. Our map helps you ensure you are dealing directly with a verified corporate entity to avoid transaction fraud.
