Texas Real Estate Commission

The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) safeguards consumers in real property transactions and valuation services. Along with the Texas Appraisal Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB), TREC oversees real estate brokerage, real property appraisals, inspections, right-of-way services, and timeshare plans. The agency provides licensing, education, and complaint investigation, and regulates and enforces state and federal laws and requirements that govern each of these areas of service.
