2024-2025 Texas Legal Update Part 1

49

As a license holder in Texas, you’re required by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) to take two legal update courses as part of your continuing education requirements for the current license period. This first course, 2024-2025 Texas Legal Update I, delves into TREC rules, updates, and legislative changes, along with the updated promulgated contract forms and addenda in the first two chapters. In Chapters 3 and 4, you’ll review fair housing laws in the country and in Texas, discuss protected classes under U.S. and Texas law, and learn about the different types of biases. Later, you’ll look at fair housing best practices, how to market and sell homes in a fair housing-friendly way, and how fair housing comes into play in property management. This four-hour course was developed by TREC and includes several YouTube videos that explains the topics in an easy-to-understand manner.
