What happens if a license holder is convicted of a crime?
If a license holder is convicted of a felony or a criminal offense involving fraud it is a violation of section 1101.652(a)(1) of the License Act.This section gives the Commission authority to suspend or revoke a license holder that has entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere or has been convicted of a felony or any criminal offense that involves fraud (including misdemeanors).The Commission does not have the authority to revoke or suspend a license holder that has been only charged or accused of committing a felony or criminal offense that involves fraud.A license holder is required to notify the Commission not later than the 30th day after the final conviction or the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere. Failing to timely notify may result in more severe or further disciplinary action.All license holders’ criminal backgrounds are rechecked upon renewal, however, this does not excuse a license holder from notifying the Commission not later than the 30th day after the final conviction.

Section 535.228(h)(1)(B) of the Standards of Practice requires inspectors to report deficiencies in steps, stairways, landings, guardrails, and handrails as deficient. In some circumstances, a break in a handrail would be considered a deficiency; however, this would depend on the specific design of a particular set of stairs (e.g., a landing in the middle of a flight of stairs would not be considered deficient simply because it lacked a continuous handrail).
Pursuant to Section 535.229(b)(3)(A)(ii), a garage receptacle that does not have GFCI protection is deficient and must be reported as such. Note, however, that the Inspector Committee may consider a change to the Standards to create an exception for garage ceiling receptacles serving garage door openers.
Under Section 1102.303 of the Texas Occupations Code, an inspector may not act in a transaction in the dual capacity of inspector and either (1) broker or sales agent or (2) an undisclosed principal. Therefore, it would violate Section 1102.303 for you to inspect any property your broker has listed or where you were personally involved. Under Rule 535.156, a real estate license holder has a duty to disclose to a client any relationship the license holder has with an inspector performing an inspection on property that is the subject of a transaction involving the license holder. If you were to perform an inspection in connection with a transaction in which your broker was involved, your broker would need to disclose your relationship (as the broker’s sponsored agent), and if you were paid or received compensation or anything of value from anyone in your office in connection with the inspection, you would also need to disclose this fact and obtain the client’s prior permission.
