TREC Updates Fingerprint Policy

The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) now allows real estate brokers and salespersons renewing their license on time to continue practicing real estate while they obtain their fingerprints, provided all other license renewal requirements are met. Licensees awaiting fingerprints will have a new expiration date attached to their renewals and will show as “active” in TREC Web site searches. Those who are new or renewing late will not be approved until TREC receives fingerprints that require no further review.
