FOR YOUR OWN GOOD... CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE OF YOUR LICENSE
It is your responsibility to ensure that your license is renewed in a timely manner. Any education required must be completed before your license expiration date if you want to maintain an active real estate license, unless
you pay an additional $200 fee and complete your MCE within 60 days of the expiration date of your license.
(A license subject to SAE cannot renew without education being completed.)
Renewal reminder cards are sent out to all brokers and inactive salespersons, active salespersons' cards are sent to the sponsoring broker. The Texas Real Estate Commission is not responsible for U.S. Postal Service delivery or knowing where to find you if you have moved and have not filed a change of address with our office. Failure to receive a renewal reminder card does not provide a valid excuse for not renewing your license.
There are three steps to renew with TREC.
- Complete the required education for the license type. ( Total of 210 core hrs. and 60 related or core hours for SAE or 15 hours of MCE)
- Submit your fingerprints through L-1 if you haven't already done so.
Education and fingerprinting are not required for a timely renewed inactive license if you are subject to MCE.
Renewal must be completed online at:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Important Note to SAE students:
If you are subject to SAE you are required to complete the education requirement even if you are renewing on an inactive status. Renewals without education for this type of license will be rejected. Both SAE and fingerprinting should be completed at least 10 days prior to the license expiration date. Fingerprinting is not required for a timely renewed inactive license if you are subject to SAE.
Late renewal applications require the submission of fingerprints.
*as per TRECAdvisor January 2010 issue
Salespersons under SAE must submit their education hours to TREC at least 14 days in advance of renewing their license online
