Texas Register Preamble


The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts amendments to Chapter 535, General Provisions, 22 TAC §535.60, Definitions, §535.62, Approval of Qualifying Courses, and §535.65, Responsibilities and Operations of Providers of Qualifying Courses, with non-substantive typographical changes to the text as published in the August 31, 2018, issue of the Texas Register (43 TexReg 5646). The rules will be republished.

The revision to the rules as adopted does not change the nature or scope so much that they could be deemed different rules. The rules as adopted do not affect individuals other than those contemplated by the rules as proposed. The rules as adopted do not impose more onerous requirements than the proposed rules.

The amendments to Subchapter F were made as a result of the Commission's quadrennial rule review. The amendments to §535.60 deleted unnecessary or outdated definitions and added or clarified definitions applicable to this Subchapter. The amendments to §535.62 set out the requirements for course approval in greater detail for better understanding and compliance. The amendments to §535.65 rearranged and clarified some of the items of responsibilities of providers to increase comprehension and compliance.

The reasoned justification for the amendments is to provide greater detail in the rules for better understanding and compliance.

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.

The statute affected by these amendments is Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1101. No other statute, code or article is affected by the amendments.
