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

The easiest way to verify a Texas real estate license is through the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) License Holder Search. This official database lets you look up an agent’s or broker’s name, license number, or business name.

After you search, review the license details closely. The results typically show the person’s license status, expiration date, and whether they are licensed as an agent, broker, or inspector.

If you only have a name, try to spell it as accurately as possible and test a few variations if needed. A license number usually gives the clearest and fastest result.

This search is especially helpful before hiring someone or entering into a real estate transaction. It can confirm whether a license is active, inactive, expired, or suspended.

It is also useful to understand the difference between Texas license types. Broker and sales agent licenses are handled differently, so it is important to check the exact status and role rather than assuming all real estate licenses mean the same thing.

If you are planning to become licensed yourself, it helps to learn the process early. A Texas pre-licensing course can make the path easier, and Leap Real Estate’s Texas pre-licensing course is one option: https://leaprealestate.com/state-licenses/texas-pre-licensing.

For the most accurate information, rely on TREC instead of third-party websites or social media profiles. If a result is unclear, TREC’s website and customer support can help explain what the listing means.
