The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts amendments to §535.64, concerning Accreditation of Schools and Approval of Courses and Instructors, without changes to the proposed text as published in the September 2, 2005, issue of the Texas Register (30 TexReg 5245) and will not be republished. Section 535.64(g)(5) adopts by reference Form Ed 5-1 Real Estate Provider Bond. The amendments change the cites in the form to the relevant statutory provisions of Chapter 1101, Texas Occupations Code. House Bill 2813, 77th Legislature (2003), added Chapter 1101, a nonsubstantive codification of The Real Estate License Act, and repealed Article 6573a, Texas Civil Statutes effective June 1, 2003.

The reasoned justification for the amendments is to make the language in the form consistent with the relevant statutory provisions.

No comments were received regarding the amendments as proposed.

The amendments are adopted under Texas Occupations Code, §1101.151, which authorizes the Texas Real Estate Commission to make and enforce all rules and regulations necessary for the performance of its duties and to establish standards of conduct and ethics for its licensees in keeping with the purpose and intent of the Act to insure compliance with the provisions of the Act.

The statute affected by this adoption is Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1101. No other statute, code or article is affected by the adopted amendments.
