+These codes indicate that the transaction has not been [applied](consensus.html) yet, and generally will be automatically retried by the server that returned the result code. The transaction could apply successfully in the future; for example, if a certain other transaction applies first. These codes have numerical values in the range -99 to -1, but the exact code for any given error is subject to change, so don't rely on it.
 
-**Caution:** Transactions with `ter` codes are not applied the current ledger and cannot cause any changes to the XRP Ledger state. However, a transaction that provisionally failed may still succeed or fail with a different code after being automatically reapplied. For more information, see [Finality of Results](finality-of-results.html) and [Reliable Transaction Submission](reliable-transaction-submission.html).

 | `terOWNERS`      | The transaction requires that account sending it has a nonzero "owners count", so the transaction cannot succeed. For example, an account cannot enable the [`lsfRequireAuth`](accountset.html#accountset-flags) flag if it has any trust lines or available offers. |
 | `terPRE_SEQ`     | The `Sequence` number of the current transaction is higher than the current sequence number of the account sending the transaction. |
 | `terPRE_TICKET`  | The transaction attempted to use a [Ticket](tickets.html), but the specified `TicketSequence` number does not exist in the ledger. However, the Ticket could still be created by another transaction. |
