What Is TREC?
TREC is the Texas Real Estate Commission; it is the state's regulatory agency for:
 | real estate brokers and salespersons |
| real estate inspectors |
| education providers for real estate and inspection courses |
| residential service companies |
| timeshare developers |
| easement or right-of-way agents |
All real estate licenses in Texas are issued by TREC. They
handle applications, renewals, course requirements, and compliance with the Texas
Real Estate License Act. According to the TREC web site:
TREC exists to protect and serve the citizens of Texas. The Commission's programs of
education, licensing and industry regulation ensure that real estate service providers are
honest, trustworthy and competent. TREC requires that all real estate brokers and
salespersons meet and maintain specified levels of education to hold a license to act as a
real estate agent. Agents are required to follow the provisions of the Real
Estate License Act and the Rules of the Texas Real Estate Commission in all transactions and to
deal with the public in a competent and honest manner. The Commission also licenses real
estate inspectors, residential service companies, real estate schools and registers
timeshare properties.
