The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §535.223, Standard Inspection Report Form, in Subchapter R, Real Estate Inspectors, without changes to the text as published in the August 31, 2018, issue of the Texas Register (43 TexReg 5657). The amended rule text will not be republished.

The amendments to §535.223, Standard Inspection Report Form, would allow inspectors to remove the TREC logo or substitute an inspector's logo in place of the TREC logo on the standard inspection report form. The amendments are recommended by the Texas Real Estate Inspector Committee.

The reasoned justification for the amendments is to provide identification flexibility to inspectors when using the standard form.

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.

The statute affected by this amendment is Chapter 1102, Texas Occupations Code. No other statute, code or article is affected by the amendments.
