The best place to find Texas real estate licensing laws is the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) website. TREC regulates brokers and sales agents in Texas, so its official pages are the most reliable source for current licensing information.

Start with the “Rules and Laws” and “TREC Rules” sections on the TREC site. These pages explain the requirements for licensing, renewals, education, professional conduct, and enforcement.

If you want the actual administrative rules, look in Title 22, Part 23 of the Texas Administrative Code. That is where the formal rules governing Texas real estate license holders are published.

TREC also outlines the steps for becoming licensed, including education, applications, examinations, and fingerprints. This makes it easier to see which rules apply to new applicants and which apply to active license holders.

It is important to review both the Texas statutes and the administrative rules, since they work together. Using only one source can leave out important details.

For people preparing for licensure, a Texas-specific pre-licensing course can help turn the rules into practical steps. One option is Leap Real Estate’s Texas pre-licensing course: https://leaprealestate.com/state-licenses/texas-pre-licensing.

Because rules can change, especially for education hours, exam requirements, and renewals, always confirm the latest details directly with TREC before applying or enrolling in a course.
