Already Licensed in Another State - Can I Practice in Texas? (Reciprocity)

• License Reciprocity Statement
  Texas does not have reciprocity with any other states with regard to real estate licensure. A Texas broker may share a commission with a foreign licensee so long as the foreign licensee does not engage in activities requiring a license in Texas. All negotiations conducted within Texas must be handled by a Texas broker.
  
  

• Becoming Licensed in Texas
  To become licensed in the state of Texas, an out of state licensee must meet all current Texas licensing requirements, which can be found through the side menu to the left. An applicant may not have to take the national portion of the licensing examination if the applicant maintains a license equivalent to the license being applied for and has already passed a comparable national examination that is accredited by a nationally recognized real estate regulator association such as ARELLO.
