You should call the Texas Real Estate Commission at 512 936 3000. They would be the best source.

I'm not sure if you can renew it. Getting a brand new license is probably the easiest part of being a realtor.

I cannot answer for Texas, but in Oregon you would have to start over with the full course work and testing.

I'm sure you'll get the answer.... in MA, the license would be inactive and it's a matter of taking CE hours and paying back fees.... it's all about the money!!!
