Bill > HB1746

This bill modifies the Texas Real Estate Commission's authority to establish educational program standards by expanding its ability to set rules for approving qualifying educational programs and courses in real estate and real estate inspection. Specifically, the bill removes an existing exemption for public high schools, meaning that the Commission can now establish standards for educational programs offered by public high schools in addition to those offered by non-accredited educational institutions. The Commission retains its existing power to develop minimum education and experience requirements for instructors teaching these courses. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, providing ample time for the Commission to develop and implement the new standards. This change appears aimed at ensuring more consistent and comprehensive educational standards across different types of real estate education programs in Texas.
