Getting your business done with the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) and the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) is about to get even easier. The agency is developing a new licensing system that will launch later this year. It will help license holders go paperless and manage licenses, apply for licensure, make all fee payments, and more—all online, 24/7. What else you'll get to do:

• Request your fitness determination for licensure online before applying. 
• Upload your documents for licensure within the system (no more separate emails to TREC).
• Track the status of your application for licensure. 
• File complaints. Doing this online will help with faster processing.
• Designated brokers can grant permissions to others within their office (like managers or team leads) to manage their licenses, including team names, through their own online account.

Take a sneak peek of what's to come by clicking the below video. 

What License Holders Should Do to Prep for Launch

We'll handle carrying over your records. But there are a few things you can do as we pack up and get ready for the online move, like renew your license as soon as you get a renewal notice.

Why Should I Renew Early?

If you get a renewal notice and typically renew your license in the summer and fall, go ahead and renew in our current system that you’re familiar with. That way when the system launches, the stress of a looming renewal deadline is in the past and you can focus on getting to know our new online features. Plus, it gets checked off your to-do list.

How Can I Access the New System?

Hang tight! Staff are still working out the kinks. Once everything's ready, you’ll be the first to know.

What This Means for Education Providers

TREC-TALCB-approved education providers will have access to all the same features including all provider and course applications being processed online. This also means all documentation typically required with those applications will be submitted through the new online format. Other features include paying fees online, faster processing times, built-in times outlines and content outlines for course applications, and more. 

This page will continue to be updated with new information as TREC-TALCB staff keep working to prepare for the new licensing system’s rollout.
