For the Texas real estate professional planning to use a drone to market properties, it is becoming increasingly important for agents to understand the legalities and responsibilities of using drones in their business. Technological advances have made it efficient and cost effective to take pictures and videos from drones, aka Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).

Other drone applications in real estate include insurance inspections, appraisals, building management, and heat-loss imaging.
