RULE §535.52Individuals

(a) Civil judgments, criminal convictions, or bankruptcy proceedings would not in themselves bar an applicant from obtaining real estate licensure, although the facts on which such legal action was based may cause disapproval of the application if the circumstances fail to satisfy the commission as to the honesty, trustworthiness, or integrity of the applicant.

(b) Texas residents who enter the military service and resume their Texas residence immediately upon separation from the military are not considered to have lost their Texas residence unless they have affirmatively established legal residence elsewhere.

(c) The fact that an individual has had disabilities of minority removed does not affect the requirement that an applicant be 18 years of age to be eligible for licensure.

(d) The requirement that the Commission be satisfied as to the honesty, trustworthiness and integrity of the applicant will not necessarily be considered until all other requirements have been met, including the passing of the examination.
