What each status means
- Active
- The license is current and the broker can represent clients. This is what you want to see before you sign a listing or buyer agreement.
- Inactive or expired
- The license is on file but not in force. The broker cannot practice on it until it is reactivated or renewed.
- Suspended or revoked
- The commission has taken disciplinary action. The broker is not authorized to practice, and the action is on the public record.
Verifying a Texas real estate broker
- Licensing authority
- Real estate agents in Texas are licensed by the Texas Real Estate Commission. Texas licenses sales agents and brokers, and a sales agent must work under a sponsoring broker.
- License number
- A Texas Real Estate Commission license number. It ends in a suffix that marks the type, so a sales agent number ends in -SA and a broker number in -BR, and you enter the number with that suffix.
- Renewal
- A Texas real estate license renews every two years, and the record spells out how far a lapse has gone, marking a license expired less than six months or expired more than six months.
- Disciplinary history
- Public. The commission's record shows the license status, including revoked, suspended, surrendered, or on probation.
Common questions
How do I know a Texas real estate broker is really licensed?
Find them by license number on the Texas Real Estate Commission's record with an active status. A real estate broker who cannot be found on the state's record is not licensed in Texas, whatever a website says.
What does an expired or inactive license mean?
The license is on file but not current, so the real estate broker cannot practice on it until it is renewed or reactivated. The record shows the expiration date.
Can I see if a Texas real estate broker has been disciplined?
Public. The commission's record shows the license status, including revoked, suspended, surrendered, or on probation.
