I ordered a sectional online—the ordering process was so smooth. Christina actively communicated, answered all my questions and concerns immediately. And her customer service skills were impeccably professional. She made me feel like I was in her presence although the transactions were completely virtual. This was such an easy and great experience. Thank you!

Use the comparison table above to compare stores side by side, rated by customers, with products and contact info in one view.

Ask about early purchase options

Every rent-to-own agreement should include an early purchase option (EPO). Ask the store how much you can save by buying the item outright before the full lease term ends. The earlier you buy, the more you save.

Check store hours before you go

Estimate your total cost

Know your rights

Rent-to-own is generally structured as a lease with an option to own. Return rights and obligations vary by agreement and state. Texas has consumer protection laws governing RTO transactions. Ask the store for a copy of your agreement before signing.

Texas law

What Texas law gives you before you sign

Texas regulates rent-to-own under Texas Rental-Purchase Agreement Act, and the rules are the same at every store in the state. Before you sign, the store has to put the cash price, the total cost to own the item, and the number of payments in front of you, so the real number is never buried in the fine print. Rent-to-own is a lease and not a loan, so there is no interest rate, and returning the item does not go on your credit.

This is a plain summary, not legal advice. Read your own agreement and confirm the terms with the store.

Texas Rental-Purchase Agreement Act Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §§ 35.71 to 35.84
Disclosure requirements Must disclose total number and amount of payments, total cost, cash price, description of property, payment schedule, early purchase option,...
Early buyout rights Consumer may purchase the property at any time by paying 60% of the remaining periodic payments plus any past-due amounts.
