Free renewal planner for Texas agents

Eleven of your 18 CE hours are already decided.

A free PDF planner for licensed Texas agents: which eleven hours are set, how to spend the seven you pick, and what every renewal deadline does.

The planner is on its way regardless. The box is only about the course.

What’s inside the planner

  • Where your 18 hours go. Legal Update I (4 hours), Legal Update II (4) and 3 hours of contract coursework are required. The other 7 are electives, the only hours you really choose.

  • The first-renewal trap. A first renewal isn’t 18 hours of CE. It’s 90 hours of qualifying education, and it can’t be deferred.

  • What the $200 deferral fee buys. 60 more days of active status. Not one hour off the 18.

  • How late is too late. Up to 6 months: renew with a late fee, but your license is inactive meanwhile. 6 months to 2 years: reinstatement. Past 2 years: the exam again.

  • If you supervise agents. The 6-hour Broker Responsibility course counts inside your 18, which leaves you 1 elective hour.

It also covers renewing on inactive status (sometimes the right call) and when our own classes are the wrong seven hours for you.

Requirements checked against trec.texas.gov in August 2026. Confirm your own deadline on your TREC account.
