The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §153.1, Definitions, without changes to the proposed text as published in the June 5, 2015 issue of the Texas Register (40 TexReg 3535). The amendments adopt a definition of "real estate appraisal experience."

The reasoned justification for the amendments is to provide clarity for license holders.

No comments were received on the amendments as proposed.

The amendments are adopted under Texas Occupations Code §1103.151, which authorizes the TALCB to adopt rules relating to certificates and licenses, and §1103.152, which authorizes TALCB to prescribe qualifications for appraisers that are consistent with the qualifications established by the AQB.

The statute affected by these amendments is Chapter 1103, Texas Occupations Code. No other statute, code or article is affected by the amendments.
