Texas Broker Responsibility Course: What You’ll Learn

If you’re a Texas real estate broker who sponsors agents or serves as a designated supervisor, you already know that with great leadership comes great responsibility. The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) requires brokers in these roles to complete the Broker Responsibility Course every two years as part of license renewal.

At License Classroom, we make it simple to meet this requirement while helping you sharpen your leadership skills and stay current with TREC rules. Below, we’ll break down what the Texas Broker Responsibility Course (6 Hours) covers, why it’s important, and how it fits into your continuing education (CE) package.

What is the Texas Broker Responsibility Course?

The Texas Broker Responsibility Course is a mandatory 6-hour course required by TREC for:

• Brokers who sponsor sales agents
• Sales agents who are designated supervisors

The goal is to ensure brokers and supervisors understand their obligations to clients, agents, and the public. It goes beyond compliance—this course equips leaders with practical tools for managing teams, reducing risk, and fostering professionalism.
