The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) adopts amendments to §153.21, Appraiser Trainees and Supervisory Appraisers, without changes to the proposed text, as published in the May 28, 2021, issue of the Texas Register (46 TexReg 3358). The rule will not be republished.

The amendments clarify rules related to qualification requirements for supervisory appraisers as adopted by the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB). To be eligible to supervise an appraiser trainee, a certified appraiser must not have had practice-interrupting discipline in the prior three years. The amendments clarify that this only applies to disciplinary actions. Administrative actions do not prohibit an appraiser from acting as a supervisor.

No comments were received on the amendments as published.

The amendments are adopted under Texas Occupations Code §1103.151, which authorizes TALCB to adopt rules related to certificates and licenses that are consistent with applicable federal law and guidelines adopted by the AQB.
