Scam Alert! Make Sure You Know If A Message Is From Us

UPDATE: Due to a recent resurgence of SPAM messages being sent out to our license holders, we wanted to remind you of these tips to help keep your information secure!

Scammers or Spammers sometimes try to copy and email and text from messages from TREC or TALCB to trick you into providing personal information. We know this can be confusing and frustrating, and we want to help make sure you don't fall victim to these schemes.

New Webinar Series: Learn How To Use the REALM Portal

The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) is launching a new webinar series to help license holders and applicants better understand how to use the Real Estate and Appraiser License Management (REALM) Portal. These live sessions will provide step-by-step guidance on common tasks in the portal, highlight frequent mistakes, and give participants the opportunity to ask questions in real time.

A Simpler Way to Find a License Holder’s Disciplinary Actions

It is now easier to find whether a license holder has a disciplinary history with the Texas Real Estate Commission. The newly launched Disciplinary Actions button at the top of each license holder’s page will take you to their specific Disciplinary Actions page if a disciplinary history exists.

Previously only indirect methods—such as searching the Disciplinary Actions section of trec.texas.gov—were available. These remain available along with the new button.

Notice: Phone Outage August 10

Multiple state agencies, including Texas Real Estate Commission and Texas Appraiser Licensing & Certification Board, are experiencing technical difficulties with the services we use to handle phone calls. The phone system is currently down as the Texas Department of Information Resources troubleshoots the issue. All online services remain available, and you can email information@trec.texas.gov in the meantime. Thank you for your patience!
