Active exit scam enforcement in Texas
Texas’s Attorney General has taken action against timeshare exit companies in this state. Be especially cautious of any company soliciting you with upfront fees. File complaints with the Texas AG and the CFPB.
How to cancel your Texas timeshare
- 1
Act within 5 days of signing
The clock started the moment you signed the contract — not when you got home. Count 5 calendar days from your signing date. That is your deadline.
- 2
Write your cancellation letter
Include: your full name, address, and phone number; the contract number and date; the resort name and property description; and a clear statement: "I am hereby exercising my right to cancel my timeshare contract under Texas law." Sign and date it.
- 3
Send by certified mail with return receipt
Go to the post office. Send the letter via USPS Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested. Keep the green card when it comes back. Keep a copy of the letter and your receipt. Do not rely on email or phone.
- 4
Send to the address in your contract
Use the address listed for rescission/cancellation in your purchase contract. Some resorts list a different address for cancellations than for general correspondence. Use the specific cancellation address if one is listed.
- 5
Follow up in writing if ignored
If the developer ignores your cancellation, send a second certified letter referencing your original cancellation date and USPS tracking number. Contact the Texas Attorney General's office and file a complaint with the CFPB.
