Often times, real estate contract negotiations come down to the wire. There may be times where a last minute change occurs or the other party fails to respond by the date required on the contract. And sometimes, this happens at the last minute, which is always the worst time.
The "notices" section of the TREC real estate contract is very specific when it comes to how notices must be delivered to the other party. There may be times when either the client does not have a fax or email address or that information was omitted from the notices section. The notice can be hand-delivered, but what if that isn't a realistic option either?
If you find yourself in this situation and it's past five o'clock, the best option may be to pay a late night visit to The Dallas Main Post Office at 401 DFW Turnpike (I30). While there is no "24 Hour" post office in Dallas, the window at this office stays open until midnight on weeknights and Saturdays, so they will post mark any piece of mail up until 11:59PM.
Of course, with budget and service cuts expected to be announced any day now, you may want to call them to verify these hours. Their toll-free number is 800-275-8777.

This is why the "notices" should always go to the agents. The agents are representing their clients for a reason, and it's part of their job to make sure notices are delivered, and what better way than to receive them themselves instead of listening to someone say, "i never got it." Plus, then you have their email and fax numbers.
I usually put the buyer's info and then put "CC:Agent" so both of us get contacted and there are never any doubts.
