98 Hours of Texas
Real Estate Post Licensing
Post-licensing (or first renewal) in real estate is required by certain states. In Texas, agents must have a total of 270 qualifying real estate course hours, 4 hours of TREC’s Legal Update I, and 4 hours of TREC’s Legal Update II posted to the license record prior to submitting the first renewal. A minimum of 180 hours were required to obtain the sales agent’s license, therefore most agents only need an additional 98 hours for the first renewal. An agent who has been made a supervisor by their broker must also complete the 6-hour Broker Responsibility course to renew.
