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

Texas requires 900 hours of broker education for a real estate broker license under current rules.

That total includes 270 hours of qualifying real estate coursework and 630 hours of related education. Together, these hours make up the standard educational path for broker applicants in Texas.

The 270 qualifying hours focus on core real estate subjects and form the foundation of the broker curriculum. The 630 related-education hours can include approved college-level or business-related coursework.

In some cases, a bachelor’s degree may satisfy up to 300 of the related-education hours. That can reduce the amount of additional coursework a candidate needs to complete.

Texas broker licensing requires more education than salesperson licensing because brokers have greater responsibilities. They may supervise agents, operate a brokerage, and handle more complex compliance and transaction issues.

If you are planning to pursue a broker license, it is wise to map out your education early and confirm which courses Texas will accept. A Texas pre-licensing course from Leap Real Estate can help provide a structured path through the required material: https://leaprealestate.com/state-licenses/texas-pre-licensing.

Because licensing rules can change, always verify the latest Texas Real Estate Commission requirements before enrolling or applying. In short, Texas requires 900 total hours, with 270 hours of qualifying courses and 630 hours of related education.
