Start your licensing education with LEAP's Texas real estate pre-licensing course, designed to help you complete the required coursework online.

Yes, online real estate courses are accepted in Texas as long as they are approved by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). This means you can complete much of your pre-licensing education online and still meet the state’s licensing requirements.

For many future agents, online learning is a convenient option because it allows them to study on their own schedule. Approved courses cover the core subjects required for a Texas sales agent license, including principles of real estate, law of agency, contracts, finance, and promulgated contract forms.

A TREC-approved online program counts the same as a classroom course for education credit. If you want a flexible path into the profession, this Texas pre-licensing course is designed to help you meet the required education hours while balancing work and family commitments: https://leaprealestate.com/state-licenses/texas-pre-licensing.

Completing the course is only one step in becoming licensed. In Texas, you must also be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma or equivalent, submit your application, and pass the state licensing exam.

After passing the exam, you will need sponsorship from a Texas licensed broker to activate your sales agent license. That sponsorship is required before you can work as an active real estate agent in the state.

Online courses can be a good choice if you want a faster, more affordable, or more convenient way to get started. Just make sure the school or provider is specifically approved by TREC before you enroll.

Because licensing rules can change, it is wise to confirm the latest requirements with the Texas Real Estate Commission. If the course is approved, online real estate education is a fully legitimate way to begin your Texas real estate career.
