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.

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.
Yes, Commission Rule 535.3 permits you to receive any compensation through your current sponsoring broker or the broker who sponsored you at the time you earned the right to the compensation.
A license holder should fully complete and provide the Disclosure of Relationship with Residential Service Company (RSC-3) when the license holder will receive a fee from a residential service company because a party to the transaction purchases a contract from that company.
Many transactions do not require use of this form. For example,
If there is no residential service company contract as part of the transaction, you do not need to provide this form.
If you are not being paid a fee by a residential service company, you do not need to provide this form.
If a residential service company contract is part of the transaction but you do not receive a fee from that specific company, you do not need to provide this form.
Generally, the only reason you might fill out this form if you do not receive a fee from a residential service company is because the other agent or broker in your transaction is providing their own disclosure. In this situation, you would fill out the appropriate portion of the form and check the box that says you "will receive no compensation from a residential service company." Your signature in this situation is merely disclosure and is not an endorsement, approval, or otherwise binding.
If the business entity is a series LLC, you must include a copy of the Certificate of Filing from the Secretary of State's Office with the Franchise Tax Account Status page. The Certificate of Filing must show that the business entity is a registered series of the business entity listed on the Franchise Tax Account Status page.
TREC Rule 535.231 (d)(B)(iii) requires inspectors to report as deficient “the absence of a gas appliance connector or one that exceeds six feet in length.” An inspector should report this deficiency in Section IV. Plumbing Systems. Based on Rule 535.231, the missing appliance gas connector should be reported in Section IV. E. Gas Distribution Section.
However, TREC defines gas distribution system as “all gas lines between the point of delivery and appliance shutoff valves” (Section 535.227(b)(7)), and some inspectors believe the appliance gas connector should be considered a part of the appliance with deficiencies reported in Section V. Appliances. Based on Rule 535.227, TREC Enforcement staff has taken the position that reporting the missing appliance connector in Section V is also a reasonable interpretation of the rules.
As long as the deficiency is reported in one of these two sections, you would not face disciplinary action.
