The amendment to §535.61 authorizes the commission to waive the national
portion of the examination for an applicant who has passed a comparable national
examination that has been certified by a nationally recognized real estate
regulator association. The amendment to §535.63 requires a salesperson
subject to annual education (SAE) requirements to furnish documentation to
the commission of successful completion of appropriate courses 10 business
days prior to the day the salesperson renews the salesperson's license.
The reasoned justification for the amendments to the rules is acceptance
of national test results from other states with comparable examinations and
facile implementation of on-line renewal requirements.
No comments were received regarding the amendments to the rules as proposed.
The amendments are adopted under Texas Occupations Code, §1101.151,
which authorizes the Texas Real Estate Commission to make and enforce all
rules and regulations necessary for the performance of its duties and to establish
standards of conduct and ethics for its licensees in keeping with the purpose
and intent of the Act to insure compliance with the provisions of the Act.
The statute affected by this adoption is Texas Occupations Code, Chapter
1101. No other statute, code or article is affected by the adopted amendments.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
