Texas Real Estate Commission Matters We Defend
- Initial TREC complaints — Position Statement preparation within deadlines.
- Trust account violations — escrow handling, IOLTA accounts, commingling under §1101.652.
- Misrepresentation and disclosure failures — material defect, dual agency, HOA, and lead-paint disclosure issues.
- Unauthorized practice of law — drafting contracts, filling addenda, providing legal opinions.
- Criminal conviction reporting — self-report obligations under §1101.652.
- Advertising and commission disputes — TREC rules on advertising compliance.
- Broker supervision and recordkeeping — broker-agent relationship and document retention.
- License reinstatement — applications after revocation, suspension, or voluntary surrender.
Possible TREC Sanctions
TREC sanctions are public and reportable to insurance carriers, future broker affiliations, and out-of-state licensing reciprocity. Range:
- Reprimand or warning — public, no practice restriction.
- Administrative fine — typically $100 to $5,000 per violation.
- Required education — additional CE hours on the violation topic.
- Probation — supervisor reports, restricted practice, transaction monitoring.
- Suspension — temporary inability to practice.
- Voluntary surrender — license relinquished with reinstatement procedures.
- Revocation — license terminated; reinstatement applications under TREC rules.
How We Defend Your Real Estate License
A TREC defense begins with the complaint letter. The Position Statement you submit becomes the record. We craft it to address every allegation factually, attach mitigating documentation (transaction files, broker records, training records, communications), and frame the conduct in context — without inadvertent admissions that compound exposure.
For Frisco-based agents, our office is 10 minutes from Stonebriar Centre and the densest concentration of residential brokerage activity in Collin County. We routinely coordinate with broker compliance officers, MLS associations, and trust-account auditors to build the strongest possible defense record before any informal conference with TREC.
Our Five-Step Defense Process
- 01
Document Preservation + Calendar
You forward the TREC complaint letter. We immediately calendar your Position Statement deadline (typically 14 days), preserve all transaction records, broker correspondence, MLS history, and trust-account ledgers from the period at issue.
- 02
Investigation Strategy
We respond to records requests with strategic framing. We gather mitigating evidence (continuing education, broker training records, transaction history demonstrating standard care) before any informal interview with TREC investigators.
- 03
Position Statement
The Position Statement is your case. We address every allegation factually, attach corroborating transaction documents, demonstrate insight without unnecessary admissions, and set up the strongest negotiation posture.
- 04
Negotiation
After TREC proposes discipline, we negotiate Stipulated Orders — pushing for warning-only outcomes, fines without practice restrictions, or limited probation rather than suspension where the facts permit.
- 05
SOAH Hearing or Reinstatement
If negotiation does not produce an acceptable outcome, we litigate at SOAH. After discipline, we file reinstatement applications when the time period and rehabilitation evidence support it.

Background Reading on Texas Real Estate License Defense
Frequently Asked Questions
The Texas Real Estate Commission is the state regulator that licenses, regulates, and disciplines real estate brokers, sales agents, and inspectors under Occupations Code Chapter 1101 (Real Estate License Act). TREC investigates complaints, prosecutes formal charges, and imposes discipline ranging from reprimand to license revocation.
Buyer or seller complaints, broker reports, criminal arrests or convictions, trust-account audits, transaction disputes, advertising violations, and self-reports. Most complaints come from clients or other agents in transactions where something went wrong.
Investigations typically run 6 to 18 months. TREC sends an initial complaint letter, requests a Position Statement, may request additional documents, may conduct an informal interview, and ultimately decides whether to dismiss, issue a warning, or file Formal Charges.
The licensee's written response to the complaint. It is the most important document in any TREC case — it shapes the entire investigation. We craft Position Statements to address allegations factually, provide context, and demonstrate insight without unnecessary admissions.
No. TREC has prosecutors who will use anything you say or write. Even an honest response can include admissions that lock in discipline. A routine complaint can turn into license suspension because the agent responded without counsel and confirmed elements TREC had not yet proven.
Reprimand, administrative fine ($100-$5,000), required CE, probation with terms, suspension, voluntary surrender, or revocation. All Final Orders are public and reportable to other state regulators, insurance carriers, and MLS associations.
Generally yes, unless TREC imposes a temporary suspension order. Investigations typically do not suspend the license. But broker policies sometimes restrict practice during pending charges, and pending discipline must be disclosed in some transactions.
Texas Occupations Code §1101.652 requires self-reporting of criminal convictions. The TREC treats unreported convictions as separate violations. Criminal-defense and licensing-defense must coordinate from intake to control timing of disclosures and case resolution.
Yes, in some cases. Reinstatement applications can be filed after specified time periods under TREC rules. Strong evidence of rehabilitation, continuing education, and documented insight is required. Reinstatement is discretionary.
Yes. Public discipline is reported to MLS associations, brokerages, and insurance carriers. Many brokerages will not retain agents with active discipline. Some MLS systems impose their own membership review on top of TREC discipline.
