Starting February 1, 2021, brokers and most sales agents will be required to complete at least 3 hours of contract-related coursework as part of the 18 hours of CE required to renew a license.

There is one exception: Sales agents renewing their licenses for the first time and subject to Sales Apprentice Education (SAE) requirements do not need to meet this requirement until their next license renewal term.

To search for courses that meet this requirement, go to texasrealestate.com/findacourse and choose Contracts courses (TREC-Compliant) in the Group field.

You can see if courses you’ve already completed qualify for this requirement at trec.texas.gov—put your name in the License Holder Search and look at your education history.
