If the candidate answers yes to these questions, the application asks them to explain. The next thing the application covers is has the candidate ever had a professional or occupational licensed revoked, suspended, canceled or surrendered.

The application goes on to cover aliases and work history for the past 5 years. The entire application must be filled out in ink or type written.

Filing this application authorizes the TREC to run a background check on the candidate. Information revealed in the background check can be used to disapprove the candidate’s application, even if all the other requirements are met. After the background check is complete and approved by the TREC, the candidate will receive notification as to whether the candidate has been approved or not. If approved, the candidate will receive a copy of the Candidate Information Brochure to register for the exam. After registering for the exam, the TREC will inform the candidate of the time and location of the exam. The candidate will need to forms of identification at the exam site. One form must be government issued such as a driver’s license and the other form must have a signature and preprinted name on it. The exam tests the candidate’s knowledge regarding the principles, practices statutes and regulations relating to real estate.

After the candidate has passed the exam, they are considered licensed real estate salespersons, but they must have a Texas Real Estate broker with an active license to sponsor them.
