The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC or Commission) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §535.91, Renewal of a Real Estate License, in Chapter 535, General Provisions. The rule is adopted with non-substantive changes to correct grammar and spelling in the proposed text as published in the August 30, 2019, issue of the Texas Register (44 TexReg 4640). The rule will be republished.

The amendments implement statutory changes enacted by the 86th Legislature in SB 37 and in SB 624 as part of the Sunset Review process.

The amendments remove consideration of a student loan default when deciding whether to grant an occupational license and authorize the Commission to deny a license renewal if the license holder is in violation of the terms of a Commission order. The amendments also correct a grammatical error.

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.
