Texas Register Preamble


The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §535.191, Schedule of Administrative Penalties, in Chapter 535, General Provisions, without changes to the text as published in the August 31, 2018, issue of the Texas Register (43 TexReg 5656). The amended rule text will not be republished.

The amendments to §535.191 are made as a result of the Commission's quadrennial rule review. The amendments move several violations to a lower tier of penalties and add several violations that are new or were missing from the penalty matrix.

No comments were received on the amendments as published.

The reasoned justification for the amendments is to have a complete schedule of penalty matrix and to lower the amount of penalties for several violations to more accurately reflect the severity of those violations.

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.
