HB 3593 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the licensing of real estate inspectors.

This bill changes licensing requirements for real estate inspectors in Texas. It establishes new standards for apprentice, full, and professional inspector licenses, requiring specific educational hours (e.g., 90 classroom hours for full inspectors), supervised inspection experience (25 for full license, 175 for professional), and sponsorship by a licensed inspector. The bill defines "qualifying real estate inspection course" to include topics like structural systems, electrical safety, and ethics. These requirements directly affect individuals seeking to become real estate inspectors in Texas, as well as the Texas Real Estate Commission, which would enforce the new rules. The bill does not address fees, enforcement penalties, or other licensing aspects beyond the outlined educational and experience criteria.
