Texas 18-Hour Broker CE Package

By TREC rules, you have to spend at least as long in each course as the course is worth.

That means to meet your continuing education requirements, you need to spend at least 18 hours working through the material.

Yes. Effective January 1, 2026, under SB 1968 and updated TREC rules, all brokers are required to complete the 6-hour Broker Responsibility course, regardless of whether they sponsor sales agents or have supervisory responsibilities.

This means the Broker Package is required for:

• Sponsoring brokers
• Designated brokers of a business entity
• Delegated supervisors of one or more license holders
• Associate brokers (even if they do not supervise agents)

Additionally, applicants for a broker license must complete the Broker Responsibility course prior to licensure.

The Broker Package includes the required Broker Responsibility course along with all other mandatory CE courses, ensuring brokers meet the full 18-hour continuing education requirement and remain compliant with current TREC regulations.

If you are a sales agent who has been made a supervisor by your broker, you are also required to complete the Broker Responsibility course.

To renew your Texas real estate license, you must complete 18 hours of Continuing Education (CE) and submit your renewal application and fee to TREC before your license expires.

TREC will send you a renewal notice about 90 days before your expiration date. Once you receive the notice, you may submit your renewal application.

The required 18 hours of CE includes:

• 4 hours of Texas Legal Update I
• 4 hours of Texas Legal Update II
• 3 hours of a contracts-related course
• 1 hour of a TREC-approved elective
• 6 hours of Broker Responsibility (required for all brokers and for sales agents who have been made supervisors)

Be sure your CE provider reports your course completions to TREC at least 10 days before submitting your renewal application. If TREC does not have your CE on record when they process your renewal, you may have to pay a $200 CE Deferral Fee or renew as inactive.

TREC allows a six-month grace period after your license expires (late fees apply). If you miss the grace period, you must apply for reinstatement. After two years, you must apply for a new license.

Some Texas continuing education courses come in the form of instructional PDFs with quizzes.

Your courses will expire sixty (60) days after you purchase them (the date you submit payment), unless the course or LMS indicates otherwise.
