The August 12 Texas Real Estate Commission meeting covered 45 agenda items spread over 472 pages of meeting materials. 在TREC的网站上查看完整的议程和材料，并阅读以下与您的业务相关的要点.

Adopted Rules

消除对学生贷款违约的考虑: 对第535条通过了紧急修订.91, Renewal of a Real Estate License, which removed references to student loan default. 这一变化是由于参议院第37号法案, passed by the 86th Texas Legislature and signed by the governor removes consideration of a student loan default as grounds to deny a license or license renewal.

新增地理和财产类型能力: TREC rule §531.3 was amended to make clear that license holders must be knowledgeable about local market issues in the geographic area in which they work and the characteristics involved in the specific type of property being sold or leased. 违反这一要求的处罚被添加到§535.191种，价格在500- 3000美元之间.

教育机构现在批准教师: The Texas Legislature removed TREC’s authority to approve instructors. Therefore, the commission adopted amendments to the rules to reflect this change. TREC will still determine qualifications that an instructor of a TREC-approved course must meet, 但讲师将由教育机构批准. 这些修正案影响第535条.63, 535.65, 535.74, and 535.75. The commission also eliminated the 8-hour adult education instructor training course required within four years of an application to teach qualifying or non-elective continuing education courses.

未披露的佣金或回扣更新: TREC rule Section 535.148, 接受未披露的佣金或回扣, was amended to conform with the federal Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act (RESPA) and a similar provision in the rules applying to inspectors.

Proposed Rules Changes

以下是8月12日提出的一些改变, many of which were necessitated by action during the 2019 legislative session. 下载会议资料，查看所有提案，这将在11月的TREC会议上再次讨论.

  • Section 535.112, Branch Office: 根据参议院624号法案, 从9月1日起，不再需要分支机构许可证, 2019. Therefore, proposed changes were made to TREC rules to remove references to a branch office license. 有关这一变化的更多信息，您可以访问TREC的网站.
  • Section 535.101, Fees: 拟议的修正案取消了分支机构执照的费用, 与担保经纪人建立或改变关系, change of address or name, 有效的许可证证书, instructor approval, 提交书面申请或表格, and certified copies. The fee for dishonored checks is also removed; however, the proposed rule would create a process for requesting payment and allowing the commission to place a license on inactive status if payment isn’t received.
  • Section 535.51、2021十大正规彩票app许可证的一般要求: The Texas Legislature removed the residency requirement for real estate license eligibility. The proposed amendment removes that requirement from the rule and removes references to service members to incorporate them in a new section, §535.58, License for Military Service Members, Veterans, or Military Spouses.

All the proposed rule changes will be posted in an upcoming Texas Register, 在此之后，公众将有30天的时间进行评论. 一旦在注册表中发布，您可以将评论发送到 general.counsel@trec.texas.gov.
