How many CE hours do Texas real estate sales agents need to renew?

Texas license holders must complete 18 hours of continuing education each two-year license period: 4 hours of Legal Update I, 4 hours of Legal Update II, 3 hours of contract-related coursework, and 7 elective hours.

Do all Texas brokers have to take the Broker Responsibility Course?

Yes. Under SB 1968, effective January 1, 2026, every broker applicant and broker renewal applicant must complete the 6-hour Broker Responsibility Course, regardless of whether they sponsor sales agents. Delegated supervisors are also required to take it. Because it counts as part of the 18-hour requirement rather than in addition to it, brokers are left with one elective hour.

What happens if my CE is not complete when my license expires?

If TREC records do not show your CE complete when you submit your renewal application, you must pay a $200 CE deferral fee or renew in inactive status. The deferral fee gives you an additional 60 days to finish.

Agents aren't born. They're built.

Your renewal, decoded

Some of your hours are decided. The rest are the whole point.

Texas wants 18 hours every two years, and they are not interchangeable. Most of them are promulgated, which means they're word-for-word identical no matter who you buy them from. The remainder is the only part where the school you pick actually changes anything.

Mandated. Identical everywhere. Yours to choose.

Reflects TREC rules for a standard two-year renewal, verified against TREC in July 2026. Your own record is the final word: confirm your posted hours and expiration date at TREC's license holder search. Miss your CE and TREC charges a $200 deferral fee to stay active, or you renew inactive.

For brokers & teams

Your agents are buying CE this year anyway.

Right now they're spending it with a stranger who teaches them nothing. Put them through Nūmen instead. Bulk seats, one invoice, and a team that comes out sharper than it went in.

It's a retention play that costs less than your coffee budget.
