Licensees in the state of Texas are required to complete a total of 18 hours of continuing education (CE) courses every two year licensing period. Of these, all licensees must take the 4-hour Legal Update 1 and the 4-hour Legal Update 2 course.
A broker who sponsors sales agents, the designated broker of a business entity, or a sales agent who is a delegated supervisor of one or more license holders for six months or more during the current license cycle must also complete a 6-hour broker responsibility course as part of the 18-hour CE requirement.
First-Time License Renewal for New Agents
Within two years of obtaining your real estate license for the first time, you must complete 90 hours of Salesperson Apprentice Education (SAE). SAE Courses are different than CE courses. Purchase an SAE course.
VanEd - Texas Real Estate School maintains an extensive selection of online real estate continuing education courses (formerly MCE) for license renewal and career enrichment to help you stay current in the industry and meet the requirements of your real estate license. We offer the mandatory TREC Legal Update courses (Part 1 and Part 2), the required Broker Responsibility course, Commercial Real Estate courses, and Ethics Update classes.
Who Must Take the Broker Responsibility Course?
The 6-hour Broker Responsibility course is required of sales agents who have been made a supervisor by a broker for six months or longer. All brokers must also complete this course if they have sponsored one or more sales agents, served as the designated broker for a business entity that sponsors sales agents, or has been made a supervisor of other license holders for 6 months or more during the license renewal cycle. This course may be purchased individually, or as part of the 18-Hour Broker Responsibility package listed below.
We have been notified by TREC that due to building maintenance outside of their control, TREC’s offices and website, including all online services, will be unavailable beginning November 25 and are expected to come back online on November 30.
If your license expires on November 30, TREC recommends completing your continuing education by November 16 so that the credit can be posted to TREC and you can pay your renewal fee by Nov 24.
VanEd will be diligent in posting your course completions to TREC prior to the November 24, and if you have VanEd completions during the window that TREC is offline, we will post them on November 30. If you have any questions please contact TREC at 512-936-3000 or information@trec.texas.gov.
