What happens if a license holder is convicted of a crime?
If a license holder is convicted of a felony or a criminal offense involving fraud it is a violation of section 1101.652(a)(1) of the License Act.This section gives the Commission authority to suspend or revoke a license holder that has entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere or has been convicted of a felony or any criminal offense that involves fraud (including misdemeanors).The Commission does not have the authority to revoke or suspend a license holder that has been only charged or accused of committing a felony or criminal offense that involves fraud.A license holder is required to notify the Commission not later than the 30th day after the final conviction or the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere. Failing to timely notify may result in more severe or further disciplinary action.All license holders’ criminal backgrounds are rechecked upon renewal, however, this does not excuse a license holder from notifying the Commission not later than the 30th day after the final conviction.

While the sale of a manufactured home (no real estate) requires a separate license from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), under a TDHCA exemption a TREC license holder can sell one manufactured home during a 12-month period without a TDHCA license (see Tex. Occ. Code 1201.003(24)). In addition, once an owner of a manufactured home has completed the detailed TDHCA process to treat the manufactured home as real property, the TDHCA licensing requirement does not apply to a TREC license holder.
Yes. If you participate in a transaction and hold more than a 10% interest in the corporation or other business entity, you are subject to the disclosure requirements. Additionally, you may not use your expertise to the disadvantage of others with whom you deal. [Rule 535.144(b)]
Pursuant to Section 535.229(b)(3)(A)(ii), a garage receptacle that does not have GFCI protection is deficient and must be reported as such. Note, however, that the Inspector Committee may consider a change to the Standards to create an exception for garage ceiling receptacles serving garage door openers.
No, provided you are an employee of the new home builder (being an independent contractor is not enough). Rule 535.34 provides guidelines to determine if evidence of an employer/employee relationship exists.
