The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts amendments to §535.212, Education and Experience Requirements for an Inspector License, without changes to the proposed text as published in the June 26, 2009, issue of the Texas Register (34 TexReg 4277), and will not be republished.

The amendments update a reference to the recently revised standard inspection report form, which was not changed when the REI 7A-0 form was replaced by the REI 7A-1, effective February 1, 2009, and adds a reference to form REI 7-2, concurrently being adopted through an amendment to 22 TAC §535.223.

The reasoned justification for the amendments is to ensure that education providers are offering training, and persons pursuing licensure as inspectors are properly trained, in the use of the current inspection report forms.

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 ensure compliance with the provisions of the Act.

The statutes affected by this adoption are Texas Occupations Code, Chapters 1101 and 1102. No other statute, code or article is affected by the amendments.
