The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts new 22 TAC §535.406, Continuing Education Requirements, in Chapter 535, General Provisions, with a non-substantive change to the text (the insertion of the word "Texas" before "Occupations"), as published in the March 11, 2022, issue of the Texas Register (47 TexReg 1196).The rule will be republished.

The new rule implements statutory changes enacted by the 87th Legislature in HB 2730. New §535.406 is adopted to implement the continuing education requirements in HB 2730.

HB 2730 provides that while the Commission must adopt rules necessary to implement the statutory requirements by September 1, 2022, a person who has submitted an application for issuance or renewal of a certificate of registration before January 1, 2023, is not subject to the education requirements of those provisions until the first renewal of their certificate after March 1, 2023. As a result, new §535.406 will have an effective date of January 1, 2023.

No comments were received on the proposed rule as published.

The new rule 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.
