Do I have to give my TV to the buyers of my House?

Is a Wall Mounted TV Real Property or Real Estate in College Station TX?
Real property is defined as: “Property that is fastened down or an integral part of the home’s structure, such as light fixtures, drapery rods, attached mirrors, and trees.”
Wall mounted TV’s are every bit as “fastened down” as Drapery Rods! Quite a bit more actually… So does that make Wall Monted TV’s real property?
I don’t have an answer to this question! It recently “Came up” in a transaction I was working here in College Station and the attorney involved also could not conclude “YES or NO”.
As a REALTOR® my advice is as always: If it’s in question write it in the contract. However, it has come to my attention that some buyers might not even bring it up because the just “assume” that they convey. Apparently in other markets where these high end fixtures have been around longer and/o more common it has become a precedent for the wall mounted TV’s to convey.
What do you think??? Are wall mounted TV’s Real Property or Real Estate here in College Station TX??? Please comment below.

Texas World Speedway in College Station
August 18th, 2008 categories: Community Events
College Station is absolutely packed full of exciting things to do.
One of the top things to do in College Station on my list is to try to make a Motorcycle Track day at Texas World Speedway. Willing speedsters can sign up for 3 levels of "classes" that allow participants to run "all out" on one of the best racetracks in the country. Lone star Track Days is one of the more popular hosts.
Similar activities are available for cars and even those cool Go cart things called Karts.
According to Texas World Speedway's Site:
"The historic Texas World Speedway is most established premier road Motorsports venue for Racing, Testing, Driving Schools, Corporate Events, and Film Shoots in the Southwest.
TWS is one of only seven Super Speedways in the USA and is the only Super Speedway in the Southwest. TWS's oval became known as "The World's Fastest Speedway"; when Mario Andretti set a world closed course speed record of 214.158 mph on October 6, 1973 while qualifying for an Indy car race.
TWS is located on approximately 400 acres with direct access to Highway 6 south of College Station,
