Texas Register Preamble


The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §535.70, Definitions; §535.72, Approval of Non-elective Continuing Education Courses; and §535.75, Responsibilities and Operations of Continuing Education Providers, in Chapter 535, General Provisions as published in the August 31, 2018, issue of the Texas Register (43 TexReg 5652). Rules §535.70 and §535.75 are adopted without changes, and will not be republished. Rule §535.72 is adopted with non-substantive changes, and will be republished.

The amendments to Subchapter G are made as a result of the Commission's quadrennial rule review. The amendments delete unnecessary or outdated definitions and add or clarify definitions applicable to this Subchapter. In addition, the term "subsequent provider" was changed to "secondary provider" to align the term with the one used more regularly in the education industry. The amendments also add clarifying terms and correct a subchapter reference.

No comments were received on the amendments as published.

The reasoned justification for the amendments is to update the rule for better understanding and compliance.

The amendments are adopted under Texas Occupations Code, §1101.151, which authorizes the Texas Real Estate Commission to adopt and enforce rules necessary to administer Chapters 1101 and 1102; and to establish standards of conduct and ethics for its license holders to fulfill the purposes of Chapters 1101 and 1102 and ensure compliance with Chapters 1101 and 1102.

The statute affected by these amendments is Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1101. No other statute, code or article is affected by the amendments.
