Texas State Requirement Details for Real Estate Continuing Education
The CE Shop is an approved school in Texas: Code/Approval Number: 666660505
Every two (2) years, 15 clock hours of Mandatory Continuing Education is required.
· Licenses must be renewed by the end of the month in which the license was initially issued in.
· Six (6) of the hours must in required topics (3 hours in the TREC Legal Update and 3 hours in the TREC Ethics). The TREC Ethics course also meets the NAR QUADRENNIAL requirement!
· Per TREC: Effective 9/01/07, an MCE online course cannot be completed in less than 24 hours. This will seriously affect those licensees who wait until the last day of their renewal period to take and complete an MCE course to renew their license.
Immediately upon real estate course completion, The CE Shop will provide students with an electronic copy of the course Certificate of Completion. Certificates will remain in your account for a minimum of five (5) years, should you need additional copies at a later time. Licensees are encouraged to retain copies of their Certificates of Completion in the event that they are audited by the state. Please refer to your renewal application to determine if you need to submit your Certificate(s) of Completion with your renewal.
Real estate course completions are recorded with the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) each business day. It may take 2-4 business days from the time we report your hours before the Commission updates your license and/or updates their website with the hours.
Please enter your individual license number correctly and fully when prompted in the registration process to ensure the reporting of your hours takes place. Texas license numbers should be seven (7) digits.
