A Texas real estate license is only available to those who are at least 18 years of age and have been legally admitted to the United States. Also, you will need to pass a background check. You will also be fingerprinted as part of this process. If you have questions, please contact the Texas Real Estate Commission.
A written exam is necessary before you can be granted your license. Online or in-person exams are available. This exam covers topics such as ethics and laws related to real estate. A real estate course is a great way to prepare for this exam.

Some of these courses can be completed online within a matter days. You may also need to attend classes in a classroom for some real estate courses. Proctored exams may be required by several states. Using a third-party proctoring service can be expensive. Alternativly, you could study for the exam and then take the test at your own home.
It's not hard to get your Texas license. The entire process can take between four and six months. First, you'll need to find an agent to serve as your sponsor.
