Installers must give manufactured home owners a written installation warranty, and the warranty must clearly require written notice of claims. For new HUD-code manufactured homes, the retailer gives the warranty; if the retailer uses a licensed installer, both are responsible. The installer or retailer generally has no warranty liability for defects reported more than two years after purchase or installation, unless the warranty gives a longer period.

Sec. 1201.361. INSTALLER'S WARRANTY. (a) For all installations, the installer shall give the manufactured home owner a written warranty that the installation of the home was performed in accordance with all department standards, rules, orders, and requirements. The warranty for the installation of a new HUD-code manufactured home is to be given by the retailer, who is responsible for installation. If the retailer subcontracts this function to a licensed installer, the retailer and installer are jointly and severally responsible for performance of the warranty. (b) The warranty must conspicuously disclose the requirement that the consumer notify the installer of any claim in writing in accordance with the terms of the warranty. Unless the warranty provides for a longer period, the installer or retailer has no obligation or liability under the person's warranty for any defect described in a written notice received from the consumer more than two years after the later of the date of purchase or the date of installation. Added by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 1421, Sec. 2, eff. June 1, 2003. Amended by: Acts 2005, 79th Leg., Ch. 1284 (H.B. 2438), Sec. 22, eff. June 18, 2005. Acts 2007, 80th Leg., R.S., Ch. 863 (H.B. 1460), Sec. 44, eff. January 1, 2008.
