22 TAC §535.21, Mailing Address and Other Contact Information

The changes to §535.21 are made to implement statutory changes enacted by the 89th Legislature in SB 1968, which becomes effective January 1, 2026. SB 1968 adds that license holders must provide the Commission with certain business contact information, like a business address and a business phone number. Furthermore, SB 1968 requires that associated brokers provide the Commission the name of the broker they associate with. The changes to §535.21 reflect these additions and add that this information will be provided through a process acceptable to the Commission.

22 TAC §535.1, Definitions

The change to 22 TAC §535.1 is made to implement statutory changes enacted by the 89th Legislature in SB 1968, which becomes effective January 1, 2026. SB 1968 requires that associated brokers—also defined by the bill—provide the Commission the name of the broker they associate with and allows the Commission, through rulemaking, to provide notice of a complaint to another license holder associated with the respondent. As a result, the same definition found in SB 1968 is added to the §535.1 and the subsections are renumbered accordingly.
