Fundamentals of Agency in Texas

Performance Programs Companys Fundamentals of Agency in Texas is one of the six required 30-hour prelicense education courses every candidate for a Texas real estate salesperson license must complete before sitting for the state licensing examination administered by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC).

This course covers 14 chapters across four areas of study: the legal and practical foundations of agency, the full range of agency positions recognized under Texas law, the ethical and statutory obligations that govern licensee conduct, and the applied skills needed to represent buyers and sellers from listing through closing.
