The Texas real estate exam includes 40 scored state-specific questions. These questions make up the Texas portion of the licensing exam for Sales Agent or Broker candidates and focus on state laws, rules, and TREC procedures.

Because of that, it is important to study Texas real estate material closely, not just general real estate principles. The state section can include licensing requirements, agency relationships, contracts, disclosures, escrow, and duties set by the Texas Real Estate Commission.

The exam is split into a national section and a Texas-specific section, so your preparation should cover both. A structured pre-licensing program, such as the Texas pre-licensing course from Leap Real Estate, can help you stay focused on the topics most likely to appear.

Since the state portion has only 40 questions, each one carries weight. A solid grasp of Texas terminology, procedures, and legal requirements can make a big difference on test day, especially when questions ask what is required, allowed, or prohibited under Texas law.

Practice exams are also useful because they help you get comfortable with the way Texas-specific questions are asked. Repeated review of state laws and TREC rules can improve both speed and accuracy.

Licensing requirements and exam details can change, so it is wise to confirm the latest information directly with TREC before you register or test. That way, you can be sure you are studying the right content and meeting current requirements.

If you are planning to become licensed in Texas, start with the state topics early in your study plan. Strong preparation in the Texas portion can make the exam feel more manageable and improve your chances of passing on the first attempt.
