Preamble Texas Admin Code Rule

  (1)make a diligent and good faith effort to find a sponsor; and

  (2)submit to the Board two affidavits declining sponsorship signed by appraisers eligible to sponsor trainees.

[(a)An applicant for appraiser trainee classification who can demonstrate to the board that the applicant has, after completing the appropriate educational requirements for a state licensed real estate appraiser under §153.13 of this title (relating to Educational Requirements), after making a diligent and good faith search, failed to secure sponsorship from at least two certified appraisers to obtain the 2,000 hours of acceptable experience required for licensing, the applicant may apply to the board to take the examination under the Act, Tex. Occ. Code §1103.254.]

[(b)An applicant under this section must file an application for a provisional license using forms prescribed by the board and pay the same fees as required for a state licensed real estate appraiser under §153.5 of this title (relating to Fees).]

[(c)An applicant under this section must be a citizen of the United States or a lawfully admitted alien; be at least 18 years of age; be a legal resident of the state for at least 60 days immediately prior to filing an application; and satisfy the board as to the prospective provisional licensee's honesty, trustworthiness and integrity.]
