Real Estate Salesperson License

In June of 2005, the Texas State Legislature committed revisions to Occupations Code Chapters 1101 and 1102 to reflect new changes in the real estate pre-licensure and continuing education requirements.

For new licensees :

To be eligible to apply for a real estate salesperson's license in the state of Texas, TREC (the Texas Real Estate Commission) requires 150 hours of Core Real Estate Classes (five 30 hour classes) and 60 additional related elective or core hours for a total of 210 classroom hours. This is an increase of 30 core hours from the education requirements prior to January 1, 2006.  The four core classes consist of Real Estate Principles I, Real Estate Principles II, Law of Agency, and Law of Contracts.

Important information concerning continuing education :

All active and inactive salespersons, who are under the Salesperson Annual Education (SAE) requirement, must show evidence of having completed a minimum of 60 hours in core or related real estate education during the first year of licensure, so that a total of 270 classroom hours have been completed by the end of the first year of licensure.

After the first year, all licensees are required to complete Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE) for an active license renewal. The MCE requirement consists of 15 classroom (clock) hours of TREC approved MCE courses. At least 6 of the 15 hours must be in approved legal and ethics courses..

Hey, that's good to know. It's always interesting to learn about real estate in other areas.
