The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §535.154, Registration and Use of Alternate, Team and Assumed Business Names Used in Advertisements, in Chapter 535, General Provisions, as published in the December 13, 2019, issue of the Texas Register (44 TexReg 7598). The rule will not be republished.

The amendment to §535.154 removes an unnecessary word that was inadvertently left in the text during the last substantive change to the rule.

One comment was received agreeing with the proposed rule.

The amendment is 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.
