(a)Fees for the issuance of a license due to a change of address, additional place of business or change of sponsoring broker are due when requests for such licenses are received. A change of address or name submitted with an application to renew a license, however, does not require payment of a fee in addition to the fee for renewing the license. If the commission receives a request for issuance of a license certificate which requires payment of a fee, and the appropriate fee was not filed with the request, the commission shall return the request and notify the person filing the request that the person must pay the fee before the certificate will be issued. The commission may require written proof of a licensee's right to use a different name prior to issuing a license certificate reflecting a change of name. As used in this section, the term '"license'" includes a certificate of registration. (b)The commission shall charge and collect the following fees: (1)a fee of $75 for the filing of an original application for a real estate broker license; (2)a fee of $30 for annual renewal of a real estate broker license; (3)a fee of $50 for the filing of an original application for a real estate salesperson license; (4)a fee of $30 for annual renewal of a real estate salesperson license; (5)a fee of $35 for an application for a license examination; (6)a fee of $20 for filing a request for a license for each additional office or place of business; (7)a fee of $20 for filing a request for a license for a change of place of business change of name, return to active status or change of sponsoring broker; (8)a fee of $20 for filing a request to replace a license lost or destroyed; (9)a fee of $400 for filing an application for accreditation of an education program under Texas Civil Statutes, Article 6573a (the Act), §7(f); (10)a fee of $200 a year for operation of a real estate education program under the Act, §7(f); (11)a fee of $20 for transcript evaluation; (12)a fee of $10 for preparing a license history; and (13)a fee of $25 for the filing of an application for a moral character determination.
