I have received my letter from TREC approving my hours and specifying the additional hours I need, now what do I do?
Finish the course work as specified by TREC. Submit any additional education documents for evaluation.

After the Commission has notified you that your education has been satisfied, you may then file and pay for the Application for Inactive Salesperson License.

Please apply and pay for your Inactive Salesperson License online. The information requested online is the same as on the paper application, yet the application process is sped up considerably, reducing by several days the time you must wait to register to take the exam. If submitting a paper application and check by mail or in person, please keep in mind that an incomplete application will NOT be returned to you for completion. A letter will be mailed requesting the incomplete information.

The following required fees must be submitted at the time of filing an application. If submitting your application by mail or in person, please note that an application received without the appropriate fees will be rejected and your check will be returned to you. The following fees should be submitted in ONE CHECK OR MONEY ORDER payable to the Texas Real Estate Commission.
ALL FEES LISTED BELOW ARE NONREFUNDABLE.

The application form requests information concerning criminal convictions, probation of sentences for criminal convictions, criminal charges pending, unpaid judgments, and pending civil law suits. Responses to these questions and a search of the Department of Public Safety (DPS) computer records are used to determine that the applicant satisfies the statutory requirements for “Honesty, Trustworthiness, and Integrity.” Prospective applicants who question the acceptability of their “Honesty, Integrity, and Trustworthiness” may request an evaluation for the Determination of Moral Character by the Commission. The evaluation answers the question of suitability before investing time and money for to satisfy the education requirements.

The filing of an application authorizes the Commission to conduct an investigation of an applicant’s background. Information revealed in an investigation may be cause for disapproval of an application - even though all other licensing requirements are met. Under certain circumstances, a more thorough background investigation may be necessary and it may not be conducted until an applicant has passed the exam. Unless the license applicant has entered into a payment agreement with the Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation (TGSLC), state law prohibits the practice of licensing someone who has defaulted on a student loan guaranteed by the TGSLC.
