| (a) Each real estate license expires on the date shown on the
face of the license certificate issued to the licensee. The licensee has the
responsibility to apply for renewal of a license by making proper application,
paying the fee set by the commission and completing mandatory continuing education
(MCE) courses within the time periods required by the Act, §7A. The commission
shall mail a renewal application form to the licensee's last known business
address or, if the licensee is in an inactive status, to the licensee's last
known permanent mailing address as shown in the commission's computerized
records. An inactive licensee shall furnish a permanent mailing address at
the time the licensee becomes inactive and report all subsequent address changes
within 10 days after a change of address. If a licensee fails to provide a
permanent mailing address at the time the licensee's license status becomes
inactive, the last known mailing address provided by the licensee will be
deemed to be the licensee's permanent mailing address. Applications must be
made on the current renewal application form approved by the commission accompanied
by the required fee. Failure to receive a license renewal application form
does not relieve a licensee of the obligation to obtain the appropriate form
and to apply for renewal of a license. A licensee shall provide information
requested by the commission in connection with an application to renew a license
within 30 days after the commission requests the information. Failure to provide
information requested by the commission in connection with a renewal application
within the required time is grounds for disciplinary action under the Act, §15B(b).
(b) The Texas Real Estate Commission adopts by reference Renewal
Application Form 1-3, approved by the commission in 2000. This form is published
by and available from the Texas Real Estate Commission, P.O. Box 12188, Austin,
Texas 78711-2188.
