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 and form as published in the March 3, 2006, issue of the Texas Register (31 TexReg 1404) and will not be republished. Section 535.64(g)(7) adopts by reference Form Ed 7-1 Instructor Manual Guidelines For Core Real Estate And Real Estate Related Courses. The amendments add to the rule a cite to the TREC website to download the form, and change the cites in the form to the relevant statutory provisions of Chapter 1101, Texas Occupations Code.

The reasoned justification for the amendments is to update the Instructor Manual for style and clarity and to remove obsolete sections.

No comments were received regarding the rule 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.
