TREC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

STEPS FOR OBTAINING YOUR LICENSE

1. Eligibility: To be eligible to apply for a Texas Real Estate Salesperson License, an individual must be a citizen of the United States or a lawfully admitted alien, eighteen (18) years of age or older and a legal resident of Texas.

2. Take Courses: To be eligible to apply for a Texas Real Estate Salesperson License an individual must furnish the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) satisfactory evidence of successfully completing the following education.

a. Principles of Real Estate I and II "Core" real estate course (60 hrs)
b. Law of Agency "Core" real estate course (30 hrs)
c. Law of Contracts "Core" real estate course (30 hrs)
d. Texas Promulgated Contracts (30 hrs)
e. Finance I
(30 hrs)

A total of 180 hours are required. This is a new requirement as of September 1, 2012..


If you enrolled in Texas Real Estate License courses prior to September 1, 2012 and you did not file your application to TREC prior to September 1, 2012, then you will need an additional course, Texas Promulgated Contracts. Additionally, the elective course must be Finance I.

3. File Application: The following required fees must be submitted at the time of filing an application. The following fees can be paid with a major credit card online during your application. The filing of the application can be done prior to completing your courses. This will speed up the approval process with TREC.

4. Fingerprints: Any person applying for or renewing a broker or salesperson license on or after January 1, 2008 will need provide their fingerprints to TREC. Once fingerprints are on file with DPS, a licensee will not need to be fingerprinted for subsequent renewals. Fingerprinting services should be available at most PSI locations that administer certification examinations for TREC. You must obtain a FAST Print Pass from TREC in order to be fingerprinted at a PSI location.

L-1 Enrollment Services is the vendor that handles the collecting and submitting of fingerprints to the FBI via the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). L-1 gathers the fingerprints and takes a photograph. To have your fingerprints taken by IBT requires an appointment. Note that you must first obtain a FAST Fingerprint Pass from TREC in order to make an appointment with L-1. L-1 has locations all over Texas.

5. Take Final Exam. License examinations are administered by PSI. Once your application has been received, processed and accepted, a Candidate Information Brochure (CIB) will be mailed to you within 48 hours. The CIB will provide all the information and instructions for making a reservation to take the examination. The CIB also contains study material and instructions about licensing (Note: you may download a copy of the CIB from PSI's web site via the Candidate Info. Brochure link in the menu on the left side of this web page).

6. Sponsoring Broker: Before you can practice as a licensed salesperson you must arrange for a Texas real estate broker holding an active license to sponsor you as a salesperson. Applicants and inactive salespersons are not authorized to act as real estate agents.

While you are not required to have a sponsoring broker to file an application for a license, a sponsorship request form is included with the application materials. If you wish, you may file the sponsorship request along with the application. Once all licensing requirements have been satisfied, TREC will send an active salesperson license to the broker, and you may act for the broker on receipt of the license.

You may also file the application and arrange for sponsorship after TREC notifies you that you have been issued an inactive license. Once a broker holding an active license has mailed a request to TREC to act as your sponsor, you may begin to act for the broker as a salesperson.

The filing of an application authorizes an investigation of the applicant's background. Information revealed in an investigation may be cause for disapproval of an application even though other requirements for a license are met. If an investigation is necessary, it may not be conducted until the applicant has passed the examination.

State law prohibits issuing more than one license once a licensee has defaulted on a student loan guaranteed by the Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation (TGSLC) unless the licensee has entered into a repayment agreement with TGSLC. YOU SHOULD CONTACT TGSLC BEFORE FILING THIS APPLICATION if you have defaulted on a student loan. An application or renewal may be rejected if this agency has received information from TGSLC that the applicant has defaulted on a student loan. The Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation can be contacted at:

Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation
P.O. Box 15996
Austin, Texas 78761-5996
Telephone: 1-800-222-6297

The time involved in processing an application depends on work volume. Inquiry as to the status of an application delays processing work. Inquiry should not be made unless there is reason to believe that information submitted to the Commission has not been received.

An incomplete application will not be returned for completion. A letter will be mailed requesting the incomplete information.

The examination must be passed within six months from the date the application is filed with the commission office

You are not authorized to perform any act for which a real estate license is required until an ACTIVE Texas Real Estate Commission license is in the possession of your sponsoring broker.

Notice:

Fingerprint Requirements for Brokers and Salespersons as of January 1, 2008

Anyone applying for or renewing a broker or salesperson license on or after January 1, 2008 must get fingerprinted in connection with the application. Fingerprints are required so that the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) can conduct a criminal history check with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). A criminal history check will be conducted on every applicant for a license and every time a real estate salesperson or broker license is renewed. Once fingerprints are on file with DPS, a licensee will not need to be fingerprinted for subsequent renewals.

  • Fingerprints that an applicant or licensee may have submitted for any other reason, such as previous employment or for a state issued license, will not be acceptable for TREC licensure.
  • You will receive a notice from TREC with information you will need to schedule your fingerprint appointment on the web or by telephone.
  • The fingerprints must be in the FBI’s required format and must be taken at an authorized DPS site. Currently, there are 70 locations statewide where electronic fingerprints can be taken.
  • If you are renewing your license, you should get your fingerprints taken at least ten (10) days before your license expiration date to avoid any renewal delay and assure continued licensure.
  • If you fail to get your fingerprints taken before your license expires, you will have to submit a late renewal application form and pay a higher fee to get a new license.
  • If you are applying for a license, you must get your fingerprints taken within 6 months of the date of you first applied or your application will terminate.
  • TREC cannot issue or renew a license until it has confirmation that your fingerprints have been submitted to DPS in the required form.











    ** Rebate forms must be received by us no later than 12/31/06. Rebate expires 1/15/07. Only one $59 rebate per student.
