At the February 8, 2010 meeting of the Texas Real Estate Commission, the Commission adopted a new rule that will establish a change in the late renewal procedure effective on September 1, 2010.
The rule is §535.93, Late Renewal Applications. This rule permits a licensee to renew a license that has been expired less than a year by paying an increased renewal fee depending on how long the license has been expired. Under current law, a salesperson or broker with an expired license is eligible to renew the previous license effective from its expiration date if the application to renew is filed less than one year from the expiration of that license.
Under this rule, a salesperson's license will be renewed in an active status from the date of renewal forward if the salesperson submits the Salesperson Sponsorship Form with the renewal. If the salesperson wishes to renew the license on active status and with no period of inactivity while the license was expired, he or she must submit the Salesperson Sponsorship Form with a broker's certification that the broker was responsible for the during the license was expired(this can be the same broker or a different broker from the salesperson's sponsor as of the date of renewal going forward). The commission will show the license on inactive status for any period in which the salesperson was not sponsored by a broker.
A licensee who did not complete all Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE) before the expiration of the license and who files a late application not later than the 60th day after the expiration of that license may renew the license on active status, if the licensee:
• pays an MCE deferral fee of $200; and
• completes the MCE.
If within 15 days after the end of the 60-day period the commission has not received evidence that the licensee has completed the MCE and paid the MCE deferral fee of $200, the renewed license will be place on inactive status.
To reactivate a license placed on inactive status under this subsection of the rule, a licensee must :
• provide the commission with evidence of completion of the required MCE;
• pay the $200 MCE deferral fee if not yet paid;
• submit a Request to Return to Active Status Form if a broker, or a Salesperson Sponsorship Form if a salesperson, with the appropriate fee; and
• pay a late reporting fee of $250.
If a licensee who has not completed all MCE before the expiration of a license files a late application to renew the license in active status more than 60 days but less than one year from the expiration of the license, the license must:
• provide the commission with evidence of completion of the MCE;
• pay the $200 MCE deferral fee;
• submit a completed Salesperson Sponsorship form, if a salesperson; and
• pay a late reporting fee of $250.
A licensee may file a late application to renew a license on inactive status without providing evidence of completion of MCE or sponsorship.
This rule does not go into effect until September 1, 2010.
Background Check Fee for Renewals
All licensees who have been fingerprinted for TREC will eventually have to pay an additional fee for a subsequent background criminal history report when renewing their licenses. Licensees who were fingerprinted for a 2008 renewal, application or late renewal, and whose current license expiration is March 31, 2009 or thereafter, must pay the renewal fee and an additional fee (currently $19.25 ) for a subsequent background criminal history report to renew the license. Renewal fees will be returned to licensees who submit incorrect fee amounts and the license will expire if the correct amount is not timely received.
Education and fingerprinting are not required for a timely renewed inactive license if you are subject to MCE.
If you are subject to SAE you are required to complete the education requirement even if you are renewing on an inactive status. Renewals without education for this type of license will be rejected. Both SAE and fingerprinting should be completed at least 10 days prior to the license expiration date. Fingerprinting is not required for a timely renewed inactive license if you are subject to SAE.
Late renewal applications require the submission of fingerprints.
The Texas Real Estate Commission held its regularly scheduled meeting at the TREC headquarters in Austin, Texas on Monday, February 8, 2010. Chairman John D. Eckstrum presided.
The Commission elected Avis Wukasch as vice-chair and Joanne Justice as secretary.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your license is renewed in a timely manner. Any education required must be completed before your license expiration date if you want to maintain an active real estate license, unless you pay an additional $200 fee and complete your MCE within 60 days of the expiration date of your license.
(A license subject to SAE cannot renew without education being completed.)
Renewal reminder cards are sent out to all brokers and inactive salespersons, active salespersons' cards are sent to the sponsoring broker. The Texas Real Estate Commission is not responsible for U.S. Postal Service delivery or knowing where to find you if you have moved and have not filed a change of address with our office. Failure to receive a renewal reminder card does not provide a valid excuse for not renewing your license.
As Chairman I am constantly reminded of the important work that the Commission, agency staff, and our licensees do to better the real estate industry as a whole. And, nothing gives me more pleasure than to see my peers - salespersons, brokers, education providers - volunteer to lend their time, experience and expertise to advance the industry. At this month’s Commission meeting I was pleased to appoint industry professionals and consumer advocates to two important Working Groups, Education and Broker Responsibility. Along with the Working Group membership, I also asked my Commission colleagues, Joanne Justice and Avis Wukasch, to serve as liaisons for the respective groups. I know that I speak for the Commission as a whole when I say that we are looking forward to the Working Groups’ review of industry practices and proposals for potential initiatives.
Also at this meeting, Administrator Douglas Oldmixon presented a plan for the agency’s 5-year Strategic Planning sessions. Public meetings will be held around the state in late March - for details see “TREC/TALCB Strategic Plan Input Meetings” above. In addition, there will be an opportunity to provide comments on the agency’s website, so if you are unable to participate in person, please share your thoughts with the agency online. It is imperative that we hear from you! As licensees, and also as members of the public for which we are here to serve and protect, this is an opportunity to tell us what we can do better. I hope you’ll take us up on our offer!

At the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) meeting on Monday , February 8th, Chair John D.

"These Working Groups are essential to the Commission's development of enhanced consumer protections and professional standards," says Eckstrum. "We need our industry peers to work for the betterment of the profession as a whole, and to assist the Commission as it carries out its primary role of consumer protection.

TREC Adopts Education Rules
The Texas Real Estate Commission adopted amendments to §535.61, Examinations, at the February 8, 2010 meeting that will require a broker to have a pre-license examination score of at least 75% effective September 1, 2010. Originally the amendments would have changed the passing scores for both salesperson and broker examinations to at least 75%. During the comment period, several comments were received and the Commission modified the amendment to require the increased score of broker applicants only. Salesperson applicants will still be required to achieve a score of at least 70% to pass the pre-license examination.
Amendments to §535.62 and §535.64 were adopted to establish how TREC-approved proprietary schools passage rates are calculated and published by the commission.
Section1101.301.OF PROGRAMS AND COURSES OF STUDY, Texas Occupations Code, (81 st Reg. Legislative Session, 2009) subsection (c) states as follows:
...(c) In establishing accreditation standards for an educational program under Subsection (a), the commission shall adopt rules that require a program to establish that at least 55 percent of the program's graduates have passed a licensing exam the first time the exam has been taken by the graduates before the commission may renew the program's accreditation.
The amendments to §535.62 allow schools that offer correspondence courses in association with accredited colleges or universities to issue certificates of completion in the name of the TREC-approved school and to count the examination passage rates of students in those courses toward the school’s overall passage rates. These courses do not require commission pre-approval because all such courses must comply with the college or university’s curriculum accreditation standards.
The amendments to §535.64 explain how a school’s passage rate will be calculated and published. Under the amendment the Commission is able to consider a variety of factors, including the separate passage rates for sales, broker and inspector applicants and trends within the school’s passage rate over a five-year accreditation period.
These amendments will become effective September 1, 2010.
Inspector Application Rule Changed
Effective March 1, 2010, an inspector applicant will no longer be able to submit an application for a license if a previous license application is still pending. Inspector applicants are required to wait six months to file an application if they have failed the examination three times. Applicants have been able to circumvent the six-month wait requirement by filing a new application after the second failure, so that a third failure would be registered as occurring under a different application. At the February 8, 2010 meeting of the Commission a rule amendment was adopted that will prevent applicants from filing a new application while another application is still active.

I am honored by my fellow Board Members and thank them for electing me Chairman of the TALCB Board. With past experience working with public bodies, I know first-hand the great importance of heading a group of dedicated public servants, and I am humbled by the confidence they have placed in me. I am also excited about the direction the agency is going with Strategic Planning and new appointments to Peer Investigative Committees.
Commissioner Douglas Oldmixon and agency staff have developed a plan for the agency’s Strategic Plan and meetings will be held statewide in the later part of March. (See bottom of page 2, “TREC/TALCB Strategic Plan Input Meetings.”) These planning sessions will cover all agency subject matters and licensees, including real estate appraisers. I encourage you to take this opportunity to voice your opinion to the agency. Tell us what we can do better, and give us suggestions for needed changes. Just as casting a ballot on Election Day is the way to voice your opinion on the state’s direction, the same is true for agency Strategic Planning. In addition to in-person public meetings, you can submit your comments via the website, so please log on!
In addition, I would be remiss not to thank and congratulate the 14 Peer Investigative Committee members that were appointed at this month’s meeting. Thank you for volunteering your time and expertise. This practice provides a real-world, hands-on approach to enforcement and is another opportunity for true agency and industry partnership. The Board will continue to accept applications for qualified members to serve--please see the website for more information.
Lastly, at the May meeting we will welcome the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC). If you are in town, please plan to attend and hear their report of our TALCB Enforcement Division’s efforts and strategies.
James B. Ratliff
Additional Applications Encouraged
On Friday February 12th, the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) appointed fourteen of Texas’ most seasoned and qualified Appraisers to serve on Peer Investigative Committees (PIC). Appointees serve a one year term and are asked to perform no more than four appraisal reviews - one per quarter - during their term of service. To be considered for this appointment, appraisers must be certified by the State of Texas, in good standing in all states of licensure, and certified as a Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) instructor. All appointments are voluntary and appointments will be made annually.
“As an Appraiser myself, I am not only proud of my fellow peers for answering the call of service, but energized and enthused by their willingness and dedication to advance the industry as a whole,” TALCB Chair James Ratliff commented. “PICs are a unique opportunity for dedicated industry professionals to work side-by-side with government agencies in order to ensure industry regulatory standards are being met and maintained.”
PIC member appointments include:
| Larry K. Cole of Killeen | Jasmine C. Quinerly of Houston |
| Bobby W. Crisp of Schertz | Jim D. Pearson of McKinney |
| Glenn Garoon of Fort Worth | Joseph Paul Portera of Montgomery |
| Edgar Paul Hornsby of Austin | Dane Sever of Spring |
| James Edward Jacobs of Sherman | Gregory E. Stephens of Dallas |
| Mark A. Lewis of Lufkin | James Synatzske of Stephenville |
| Lewis Richmon Merrill of Bryan | Gerald A. Teel of Houston |
Appointees will work in teams to review appraisals that are the subject of complaints that have been received by the Board. This practice provides a real-world, hands-on approach to enforcement and is another opportunity for true agency and industry partnership. The Board will continue to accept applications for qualified members to serve on a PIC. More information can be found at: www.talcb.state.tx.us/agencyinfo/pic.asp
