Passed the first try..........2007-06-15
This book is a must if you dont remember much from your classes. The refresher course is straight to the point, and the tests on the computer really help out ALOT. If you can pass the tests on the cd, passing the exam is easy.
Great review for the exam.......2007-03-08
I found this book to be very helpful. I especially liked the glossary of terms and the condensed review in the middle of the book. I used the CD exams as practice for my test to get used to the computer format. I passed both parts on my first try and I think this book helped me do that.
REAL ESTATE EXAM.......2007-01-21
This is more helpful than the college courses I had. The college courses are required, but this is a definite "must have" before taking the test.

Modern Real Estate Practice in Texas .......2006-03-07
Good update over previous edition. Author added some new material, but took away some from the previous edition. This book will get me through the state exam.
much better than Jacobus's Texas Real Estate !!!!.......2005-04-06
i came across this book AFTER i have finished reading Jacobus' Texas Real Estate. i hoped i have seen this book much earlier and tossed Jacobus into trash bin... much much better...
A very informative, easy read.......2001-01-17
I liked this book because it is well organized and informative. At the beginning of every chapter the author includes a list of key terms; and key words are bolded and defined through out the chapters. In the back of the book, there's a glossary. This book covers the main topics of the Texas Real Estate Sales Exam in a very thorough, organized way.
Book Description
Texas Real Estate Law presents complete, well-organized coverage of Texas real estate law, with its many special features and complexities. Jacobus discusses what the law has been in the past, before moving to what it is at the present--all with a perfect balance of principles and practice. The Ninth Edition reflects many major changes and additions to the law in the past three years.
Customer Reviews:
The Definitive Work.......2000-01-04
I have used this book for years, and have recommended it to my employer. Jacobus does an excellent job of introducing the layman to the essentials of Texas land law, which has a colorful and complex history.

Preparation for Texas Real Estate Exam.......2006-03-11
While this book and several others I read helped me pass the Texas Real Estate Exam, I found several minor and at least one glaring error in this book. Also, the CD that accompanied the book did not load on my Dell Dimension 8250 computer. I tried it on my Dell Inspiron laptop computer and it loaded, but it was very sensitive/unstable, advancing through questions I had not answered.
Good Start -Common sense approach, but you need ALOT more.......2005-06-24
If you think this book is the answer to get you through the Salesperson exam, you're wrong. It will help with studying and the practice exams on the CD were worth while. But, you will still need your TREC text books and LOTS of time to read and study. I set aside a few hours a day for 2 weeks solid and I barely passed. I don't give the credit to the book, but to the time I spent on studying my other texts in addition to this text. Good Luck!
I Passed On The First Try.......2005-02-22
This book was recommended by a friend whom I was taking RE Classes with. I truely feel had I not bought this book, I may of had to take it a 2nd time. 3 Days before the Exam, each day I took the full State & National Trial Test on the CD Rom that is included. I then reviewed each question whether I had missed it or passed it...this took about 2 1/2 hours a day. I feel this built up my tolerance for taking a long test. I rate this 5 Lucky Stars.
Book Description
In a stark and haunting debut novel, Harry Hunsicker introduces Dallas P.I. Lee Henry Oswald,a Special Forces veteran of the Gulf War whose work begins where legal options end...He bears a killer's name...Lee H. "Hank" Oswald inherited more from his bull-headed father than just a name. It's not that he looks for trouble; he just can't seem to keep out of its way. Fortunately being named Oswald in Dallas makes a man tough enough to get the job done, no matter what side of the law he's forced to walk... He seeks a missing brotherThings get even rougher for Hank when he agrees to help an old friend find her troubled brother. She swears Charlie's quit the drugs for good, now that he's got a job in real estate. But Hank's barely taken the case when he discovers that the Dallas real estate wars can be as vicious and dirty as anything he'd encountered on the battlefield. He's found three suspects-and a hundred ways to die...Before long, three prime suspects emerge: a ruthless Dallas dealmaker; a rising young real estate developer and community activist; and one of the city's most notorious, and deadly, drug lords. Digging through the muck to find something to tie these three together-and to Charlie-Hank comes to one unmistakable truth: For the right price, a man might do anything.
Customer Reviews:
Doesn't read like a first novel.......2006-08-15
Strong effort. In the paperback the print is tiny, give us a break next time, because this writer shows great promise. Loose the drawing room confrontation next time. Good action, good time.
Good, but not great.......2005-12-18
Some have compared this book to Lehane and Connelly. While I understand the comparison, to me this book just didn't have the same cachet as those. Hank is interesting and there are the well-armed, violent, gay-couple sidekicks, but I never felt connected to them. Hank gets beat up and shot, and shot, and shot but is the proverbial Timex. There are a lot of bad guys without any of them being memorable. The dialogue is good, although the author needs to ensure he does not overuse the phrase (paraphrasing) "If someone knows of a better...I wish they'd show me." The author works too hard at cleaver names for his characters: Lee Henry Oswald, for a book set in Dallas; Vera Drinkwater, client with an alcoholic brother; bad guys Clairol and Fagen. For all that, the story moves well and there are some clever moments. The book was good, but didn't knock me out.
Funny, sexy, unexpected. Breathless pace. High stakes........2005-09-28
Funny, sexy, unexpected:
"Spanky's didn't even have a liquor license, so the girls could dance naked, rather than just topless. For this, you paid a cover charge and a setup fee, and brought in your own alcohol so you could sit at a cramped, wobbly table and watch a strung-out-nineteen-year-old with three kids shake her ass to Metallica. The bar was also where I met my e x-wife, Amber, but not in the capacity most imagine."
Breathless pace:
"I rolled out of the car onto the pavement, dropped the knife and pulled my gun. Kneeling by the ruined Mercedes, I held the pistol pointed out, not sure what I was going to shoot since I couldn't see anything......I wiped blood out of my eyes and could see. A shape appeared at the back side of the Mercedes."
High stakes:
"A pistol materialized in his hand. He pointed at me and pulled the trigger. A millisecond later, someone hit my stomach with a two-by-four. My knees wouldn't support my body anymore and I fell, squeezing the trigger of the Browning one time as I went over."
Delicious, witty, fast-paced thriller!.......2005-06-21
Our newspaper gets "review copies" of new books every week... most go in the trash. This gripping debut from Harry Hunsicker has gone from editor to editor and is a great read! Hunsicker really captures the underbelly of Dallas in steamy, noir fashion. His characters all have their own fun, quirky personalities and the plot rips along with over-the-speed-limit velocity. I stayed up late to finish this book and I can't wait to see what Lee Henry Oswald gets himself into next time!
WOW! BEST OF THE YEAR!.......2005-05-26
Incredible modern mystery noir! Characters the you love to hate and hate to love. A must read for all fans of Michael Connelly, Michael Kordoba, and Ross MacDonald. The character of Lee Henry Oswald (you've got to wonder about his parents) lives and breathes on the streets of Dallas.
Nicely done, a thoroughly enjoyable read introducing me to a darker, more sinister and menacing in which I live. Nicely done, Harrry Hunsicker has written the best mystery I've read this year!

It ain't over....yet........2006-03-31
Its true my family was sucked into this Pelham Humphries deal. But, my family has been trying to get this inheritance since the 1920's. My uncle, Wayne Hodge,has taken up the charge since Brown Peragoy was handed his hat by the Texas judiciary. He sends out notices every once in a while and is still asking for money so they can "take it to court". I say all this to let everyone know that it ain't over for everybody.
NOW: I really enjoyed the book and read it from cover to cover in about two days. I learned a lot about the Meaders and their own set of problems. I would have liked to have gotten more story line rather than all the documentation. Most of the documentation and maps I had seen before over the years.
Great book, learned alot about other land scandels in Texas.......1999-07-24
I read the book and it was awesome, I can relate to it, as being an heir to Griffith League here in Texas, and the troubles involved, no clear titles, burnt down courhouses, and lawyers, Mexican Colonization Laws, Civil War, oil money and justice. Why even put money in escrow when nobody is ever going to get it. Maybe this will be his next book.
The Original Texas "Land Deal".......1999-03-12
"What a tangled web we weave, when we practice to make a quick buck!" If you like dealing in real estate, you're going to love this book. Shaffer's surgical precision in slicing this juicy story open slowly and humorously was impressive. I now know more about the conveyance of real estate, East Texas history, and lawyers' greed than I ever thought I wanted to know! But after reading this book, now I am curious about what is next door to Spindletop. More oil? More killings? Maybe Shaffer will tell us in another book?
Texas heritage and history are interestly refreshed........1998-11-29
We, as Texans, take pride in our culture. Without the efforts of our descendants and immigrants, the land granted in 1834 to Pelham William Humphries from Empresario Lorenzo de Zavala may have never occured. History came alive in Spindletop Unwound. Thanks from Marilyn Early.
I loved it.......1997-08-10
The famous Spindletop gusher spewed more than oil. It's a tale of the real scams and dangers that go hand in with big money, with cast of REAL CHARACTERS you can really sink your teeth into
