The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §535.400, Registration of Easement or Right-of-Way Agents, in Chapter 535, General Provisions, without changes, as published in the June 12, 2020, issue of the Texas Register (45 TexReg 3995), and will not be republished.

The amendments to §535.400 eliminate the requirement for an applicant for an easement or right-of-way agent to provide a photograph to the Commission. This change lessens a burden on an applicant and is consistent with changes made to eliminate this same requirement for real estate brokers and sales agents.

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.
