The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts amendments to 22 TAC §535.92, Continuing Education Requirements, in Chapter 535, General Provisions, without changes to the proposed text as originally published in the August 27, 2021, issue of the Texas Register (46 TexReg 5342). The rule will not be republished.

The amendments to §535.92 eliminates subsection (f), which allows license holders to obtain continuing education (CE) credit for a course taken to fulfill a requirement of a professional designation and includes a list of specific professional designations recognized by the Commission for purpose of obtaining CE credit. License holders may still receive CE credit for such courses if providers have submitted and the Commission has approved the course for credit through the usual course approval process. A non-substantive, grammatical change was made to subsection (d) to remove the extra article, "the".

The amendments are recommended by the Education Standards Advisory Committee.

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; 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.
