Note

Texas Real Estate Commission, Agency 329, became a self-directed, semi-independent agency.  All funds held with Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company per S.B. 1000, 82nd Leg., R.S. effective 9-1-11.

H.B. 1363 finally repealed Occupations Code, Subchapter H, Ch. 1102 effective 9-1-23. H.B. 1363 requires the commission to transfer $200,000 to General Revenue from the Real Estate Inspection Recovery Fund at the Safekeeping Trust Company. By 8/31/26, the commission shall set aside any amounts at TTSTC to pay pending claims under Occupations Code, Subchapter H, Ch. 1102. After claims are paid, remaining money is transferred to General Revenue to offset any amounts remitted to General Revenue by the commission.
