and §19.22; and Subchapter C (Real Estate) comprised of §19.51.
The review is conducted pursuant to Government Code, §2001.039. Comments
regarding the review of these chapters, and whether the reasons for initially
adopting the sections under review continue to exist, will be accepted for
30 days following the publication of this notice in the
Texas Register

Any questions or written comments pertaining to this notice of intention
to review should be directed to Everette D. Jobe, Senior Counsel, Texas Department

by email to ejobe@banking.state.tx.us.
The commission also invites your comments on how to make these sections
easier to understand. For example:
*Do the sections organize the material to suit your needs? If not, how
could the material be better organized?
*Do the sections clearly state the requirements? If not, how could any
section be more clearly stated?
*Do the sections contain technical language or jargon that is not clear?
If so, what language requires clarification?
*Would a different format (grouping and order of sections, use of headings,
paragraphing) make the sections easier to understand? If so, what changes
to the format would ease understanding?
*Would dividing any section into two or more shorter sections be better?
If so, what sections should be changed?
Any proposed changes to these sections as a result of the rule review will
be published as proposed rules in the
Texas Register
. Proposed rules are subject to public comment for a reasonable period
prior to final adoption by the commission.
