PART 23. TEXAS REAL ESTATE COMMISSION
CHAPTER 535. GENERAL PROVISIONS
SUBCHAPTER E. REQUIREMENTS FOR LICENSURE
The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) adopts on an emergency basis revisions to §535.51 concerning General Requirements and adopts by reference three revised forms. The amendments are adopted on an emergency basis to comply with new legislation that included revisions to Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1101 during the 81st Legislative Session, Regular Session (RS), by Senate Bill (SB) 862. The effective date of SB 862 is May 11, 2007. The adoption of the amendments permits TREC to comply with the effective date required by the bill. The amendments adopt by reference revised forms to reflect increased fees to be paid to the Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University for three application types for a salesperson license as SB 862 provides for such increase in fees.
The emergency amendment to the rule is 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 statutes affected by this emergency adoption are Texas Occupations Code, Chapters 1101 and 1102, and Senate Bill 862, 81st Legislature, RS. No other statute, code or article is affected by the adopted amendments.
