The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts an amendment to §535.403, concerning renewals of registration for easement or right-of-way agents, without changes to the proposed text as published in the June 29, 2001, issue of the Texas Register (26 TexReg 4823). The amendment requires all registrants to provide a permanent mailing address to TREC and report a change within 10 days after the change occurs. There is no fee charged for reporting a change of mailing address. Adoption of the amendment is necessary for TREC to be able to communicate effectively with registrants. TREC will use the permanent mailing address provided by the registrant as the address to which registration renewal notices and other official correspondence are sent.

No comments were received regarding the proposal.

The amendment is adopted under Texas Civil Statutes, Article 6573a, §5(h), which authorizes the Texas Real Estate Commission to make and enforce all rules and regulations necessary for the performance of its duties.
