On February 1, 2021, sales agents and brokers will be required to complete at least three hours in contract-related coursework as part of the 18 hours of continuing education (CE) required to renew a license.  For your convenience, and the convenience of your students, a “contracts” search filter is available on the Approved Real Estate CE Course List, which allows license holders to search for contract-related courses on the TREC website.  

If you have questions about a contract course you have submitted, please contact an education specialist at education@trec.texas.gov. 

Reminders: 

• Acceptable CE contract courses must be devoted solely to the topic of real estate contracts. 

• The CE Course Application form now includes an item allowing providers to request a new course be reviewed to satisfy this requirement. 

• Providers that have CE courses currently approved that may satisfy the contracts requirement, are encouraged to request a subsequent review by submitting the Contracts Course Identification form. 

• Providers must receive written approval from TREC before advertising that a CE course has been approved to satisfy the contract course requirement.
