The Texas Real Estate Commission adopts an amendment to §535.92, concerning Renewal: Time for Filing; Satisfaction of Mandatory Continuing Education Requirements, without changes to the proposed text as published in the June 1, 2012, issue of the Texas Register (37 TexReg 3978) and will not be republished.

The amendment is adopted to remove the reference to the MCE deferral fee and late reporting fee because the fees will be reflected in amendments 22 TAC §535.101, concerning Fees. The effective date of the amendment is January 1, 2013.

The reasoned justification for the amendment is consistency between the Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1101 and 22 TAC Chapter 535.

No comments were received on the rule as proposed.
