Texas Register Preamble


The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §535.70, Definitions; §535.71, Approval of CE Providers; §535.72, Approval of Non-elective Continuing Education Courses; and §535.73, Approval of Elective Continuing Education Courses in Chapter 535, General Provisions, with changes to the proposed text as published in the August 30, 2019, issue of the Texas Register (44 TexReg 4637). The rules will be republished.

All amendments implement statutory changes enacted by the 86th Legislature in SB 624 as part of the Sunset Review process.

The amendment to §535.70 changes the definition of "CE Instructor" to conform to statutory changes. The proposed amendments to §535.71 change "subsequent approval" to "renewal" and authorize the Commission to deny an application for renewal if a continuing education provider is in violation of a Commission order. The amendment to §535.72 eliminates the requirement of continuing education providers to use instructors approved or certified by the Commission as required by SB 624. The amendments to §535.73 reorganize this section and clarify the process for renewing the approval of an elective continuing education course. The amendments to this section authorize the Commission to deny an application for renewal of an elective continuing education course approval if a continuing education provider is in violation of a Commission order.

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.
