- Completion of 210 classroom hours
for Salesperson licensure or 900 classroom hours for Broker licensure is required. Of these, 150 hours for Salesperson or 270 hours for Broker must be in core
real estate courses and the
remainder may be in related college courses.
- 30 hours in Law of Agency, 30 hours in Law of
Contracts, and 60 hours in Principles of Real Estate (Principles I and
Principles II) and one additional 30-hour core class are required.
- Each college class approved by
TREC usually contains 3 semester hours (45 classroom hours).
TREC may give credit toward your educational requirements for up to 2
college classes, such as English Composition, Psychology, Speech,
Accounting, Government, Law, some business classes, etc. TREC will make
this determination..
- After you have completed your
education, you may file
and pay for the Application
for Inactive Salesperson License. Evidence
of successful completion of your education via credit transcript or
certificate should be submitted with your application. DO NOT submit original transcripts
or course completion documents. Keep the originals for your personal
files and send photocopies to the Commission.
- Please apply and pay for Inactive salesperson
License online. The information requested online is the as on the
paper application.
If you are filing online, scan and send your education documents
electronically to education@trec.state.tx.us
or fax then to 512-465-3989 with a copy of your completed
application. If submitting your application by mail or in person, please note that an application
received without the appropriate fees will be rejected and your check
will be returned to you. The fees ($137.00) should be submitted in ONE
CHECK OR MONEY ORDER payable to the Texas Real Estate Commission. NOTE TO SALESPERSON AND BROKER APPLICANTS: ALL FEES ARE NONREFUNDABLE.
- TREC will either approve or
disapprove the application.
Assuming approval is granted, TREC will issue and send or email a Candidate Information
Brochure with a number assigned only to THAT STUDENT. (This
is literally a “Permission to Take the Exam” letter.) The student must
then call PSI Examination Services using the toll-free number included
in the brochure and make arrangements to take the 21/2-hour computerized
exam. There is a $61 fee each time a student takes an exam.
- If you've passed the exam, the
results are electronically sent to TREC, and your new license will be
sent to your sponsoring broker upon submission of a salesperson
sponsorship form.
If a student fails an exam, he or she can simply schedule another exam
with the Center as soon as space is available. A recently enacted law (HB 1530,
80th Legislature, Regular Session) requires any person applying for or
renewing a broker or salesperson license on or after January 1, 2008 to
provide their fingerprints,
in a specified format, in order to enable an FBI criminal history check
to be performed.

When you do pass the exam, "It'll Be A Bright Sunshiny Day" and the pass result is electronically sent to the TREC and you will be issued an "inactive salesperson license".
Upon submission of a "Salesperson Sponsorship Form", the license will be sent to the sponsoring broker and you will have an "active salesperson license". A
"Salesperson Sponsorship Form" is not required
if a sponsoring broker was included in the
"Application for Inactive Salesperson License"
as the license will actually be issued in an active status under the
sponsoring broker with no further action required by the Salesperson. There
is no fee required for a "first-time" sponsorship. All subsequent
sponsorship changes will require the appropriate fee in effect at that
time. If a student fails an exam, he or she can simply schedule another
exam with the Center as soon as space is available.
There is a $61 fee "each time" a student takes an exam but no further education is required.
