The Sunset Advisory Commission is conducting a special-purpose review of the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). By law, the scope of the review is strictly limited to reviewing the legally required disclosures made by a seller of real property and the associated disclosure forms developed by TREC. Sunset staff welcomes public comments related to this topic.

The Sunset process has three stages. First, Sunset staff will evaluate the legally required seller disclosures and corresponding TREC forms, seek public input, and issue any appropriate recommendations. Second, the Sunset Commission will hold two public meetings: a hearing on staff’s findings, and a decision meeting to adopt any recommendations to the Legislature based on the findings and public comments. Third, the Legislature will convene in January 2025 and will consider Sunset’s statutory recommendations, if any, in a Sunset bill for TREC.

Here are several ways to provide comments and suggestions to Sunset staff on the legally required seller disclosures and corresponding forms:

• Send an email to sunset@sunset.texas.gov
• Submit comments online at www.sunset.texas.gov
• Send a letter to Sunset Advisory Commission, Attn: TREC, P.O. Box 13066, Austin, Texas 78711
• Call (512) 463-1300 to speak to Sarah Gruen, project manager of the special-purpose TREC review

Please provide your comments by July 19 to ensure Sunset staff can fully consider your input while conducting their review. Comments submitted before the staff report is published in August 2024 will remain confidential.
