The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts an amendment to §535.72, concerning presentation of courses, advertising and records in mandatory continuing education (MCE) courses, without changes to the proposed text as published in the October 13, 2000, issue of the Texas Register (25 TexReg 10262). The amendment to §535.72 limits the MCE daily classroom course presentation to 10 hours, consistent with the current limit on core real estate courses. This amendment is necessary to ensure that students are not kept in class when they are no longer receptive to instruction because of fatigue and thus provide them a greater opportunity to master the course material.

No comments were received regarding the proposal.

The amendment is adopted under Texas Civil Statutes, Article 6573a, §5(h), which authorize the Texas Real Estate Commission to make and enforce all rules and regulations necessary for the performance of its duties.
