Texas Register Preamble


The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §159.204, Complaint Processing, without changes to the proposed text as published in the February 22, 2019, issue of the Texas Register (44 TexReg 798). The amendments will not be republished.

Section 159.204 establishes criteria for TALCB to investigate and process complaints received against appraisal management companies (AMCs). The TALCB Enforcement Committee recommends adoption of the amendments to implement recommendations from the Sunset Commission directing TALCB to prioritize complaint investigations based on the risk of harm each complaint poses to the public and to improve TALCB's investigative process and reduce complaint resolution timeframes.

The amendments clarify the process and set forth the criteria for prioritizing complaint investigations for complaints against AMCs. The amendments also clarify who must sign agreed resolutions of AMC complaint matters under Tex. Occ. Code §1104.208.

No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendments.

The amendments are adopted under Occupations Code §1104.051, which authorizes TALCB to adopt rules necessary to administer Chapter 1104, Occupations Code.
