From some quick research I have found the following.
BTSA stands for "Bonus To Selling Agent". It is paid by the Seller to the Sales Agent. As such it is included in the agent's income and is treated like any commision they earn - they are responsible for the payment of taxes. Additionally,a BTSA is separate and apart from the price of the house.
Again, this was just some quick research; you could confirm all this with a Texas realtor or attorney.
