Real Estate Exam [Texas] 04, Pre-License Education Requirements
About this episode
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- The total pre-license education requirement in Texas is 180 hours, divided into six specific 30-hour courses.
- The six mandatory courses are Principles of Real Estate I & II, Law of Agency, Law of Contracts, Promulgated Contract Forms, and Real Estate Finance.
- Exam questions test knowledge of the specific required courses, not just the 180-hour total, often using scenario-based questions.
- Only courses from providers officially approved by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) will satisfy the education requirements.
- The initial 180 pre-license hours are distinct from the Sales Agent Apprentice Education (SAE) required for your first license renewal.
