The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts the repeal of §535.209, concerning Professional Inspector Corporations and Limited Liability Companies. The repeal is adopted without changes to the proposed text as published in the October 26, 2007, issue of the Texas Register (32 TexReg 7661) and will not be republished.

The TREC received no comments during the notice and comment period regarding adoption of the repeal.

The reasoned justification for the adoption of the repeal is the implementation of legislation enacted during the 80th Legislative Session which repealed the licensure requirements for corporations and limited liability companies that engage in home inspection services for a fee. House Bill 1530, which became effective September 1, 2007, included revisions to Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1102.

The repeal is adopted under Texas Occupations Code, §1101.151, which authorizes TREC to adopt and to enforce rules necessary to administer Chapter 1102.

The statute affected by this adoption is Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1102. No other statute, code, or article is affected by the adoption.
