Relating to the licensing and regulation of certain real estate professionals by the Texas Real Estate Commission.

It requires qualifying courses to cover five specific areas: agency relationships, contract law, real estate principles (including 3+ hours on housing discrimination laws), property management, and appraisal fundamentals. The bill directly affects real estate brokers and agents seeking initial licensing or continuing education. Key provisions include mandating training on federal/state housing discrimination laws and specific topics like lease procedures and fiduciary duties, ensuring standardized education under the Texas Real Estate Commission.
