The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §535.63, Approval of Instructors of Qualifying Courses, in Chapter 535, General Provisions, without changes to the proposed text, as published in the May 24, 2019, issue of the Texas Register (44 TexReg 2572). The amendments will not be republished.

The amendments to §535.63 are made in direct response to the Sunset Advisory Commission Report, which directed the elimination of TREC's authority to approve real estate and inspector instructors but retains the ability to set qualifications and standards of instructors for TREC approved courses.

The amendments eliminate the Commission's approval of real estate and inspector instructors and establish qualifications and standards for providers to use in choosing instructors.

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.
