(a)(No change.) (b)Except as authorized by §535.92 of this subchapter, for the renewal of a license on active status that is not subject to the annual education requirements of §1101.454 of the Act, the license holder must attend during the term of the current license, at least two Commission developed legal courses consisting of a three-hour legal update course and a three-hour legal ethics course to comply with the six legal hours of mandatory continuing education required by §1101.455 of the Act. [The remaining nine hours required by §1101.455 of the Act may consist of elective credit courses registered with the commission under Subchapter G of this chapter (relating to Mandatory Continuing Education).] (c)A broker who sponsors a salesperson, a designated broker of a business entity, or a license holder who is a delegated supervisor of one or more license holders pursuant to §535.2 of this chapter for six months or more during the course of the current license must attend the six hour broker responsibility course required by §1101.458 of the Act. (d)[(c)] The commission shall mail a license renewal notice three months before the expiration of the current license. Failure to receive a license renewal notice does not relieve a licensee of the obligation to renew a license. (e)[(d)] 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 §1101.656 of the Act. (f)[(e)] If a licensee is unable to renew a license on the commission's Internet website, the licensee may renew an unexpired license by obtaining a renewal application form from the Texas Real Estate Commission, P.O. Box 12188, Austin, Texas 78711-2188 and complying with the commission's requirements.
