The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §535.64, Content Requirements for Qualifying Real Estate Courses, in Chapter 535, General Provisions, without changes to the text as published in the December 2, 2016, issue of the Texas Register (41 TexReg 9434).

The amendments are adopted to set out the topics and times required for the content for the Real Estate Math Qualifying Course, with the guideline form for course approval containing specific units being adopted by reference in the rule.

The reasoned justification for the amendments is greater clarity for providers in course preparation and better quality and consistency in new agent education.

No comments were received on the amendments as published.

The amendments are adopted under Texas Occupations Code, §1101.151, which authorizes the Texas Real Estate Commission to adopt and enforce rules necessary to administer Chapters 1101 and 1102; and to establish standards of conduct and ethics for its license holders to fulfill the purposes of Chapters 1101 and 1102 and ensure compliance with Chapters 1101 and 1102.
