The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) adopts amendments to §153.24, Complaint Processing, without changes to the proposed text as published in the September 3, 2021, issue of the Texas Register (46 TexReg 5526). The rule will not be republished.

The amendments outline a process that allows complaint cases resulting in a contingent dismissal to be closed at the time an agreement is reached between the parties as opposed to the current process in which the case is closed after completion of the required remedial training. The change results in more accurate reporting of complaint resolution timeframes.

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 for certifying or licensing an appraiser or appraiser trainee.
