Texas 18-Hour Broker CE Bundle: Complete Your 2026 Renewal Online

Texas brokers have a new continuing education requirement for 2026. Are you prepared?

If you're a Texas real estate broker approaching your license renewal, there's an important change you need to know about.

Effective January 1, 2026, the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) requires all brokers to complete the six-hour Broker Responsibility Course as part of their renewal education, whether or not they currently sponsor sales agents.

Previously, some brokers who didn't sponsor agents weren't required to complete this course. That has changed.

The good news? You can complete your required 18 hours of continuing education online with courses designed specifically for Texas brokers.

The 18-Hour Broker Responsibility CE Bundle from Agent Results Training brings your required coursework together in one convenient package.

What Are the Texas Broker CE Requirements for 2026?

Texas real estate brokers renewing their active licenses generally must complete 18 hours of TREC-approved continuing education during each two-year licensing period.

Here is the required breakdown for 2026:

These requirements apply to active broker license renewals. Delegated supervisors must also complete the Broker Responsibility Course as part of their applicable education requirements.

The six hours of Broker Responsibility count toward the 18-hour total. They are not six additional hours.

What Changed for Texas Brokers in 2026?

One of the most significant changes came through Senate Bill 1968.

Beginning January 1, 2026, all Texas brokers must complete the six-hour Broker Responsibility Course when renewing their licenses, regardless of whether they sponsor sales agents.

This means that even a broker operating independently, without sponsored agents, must account for Broker Responsibility education when planning their renewal.

The course addresses important responsibilities associated with holding a Texas broker license, including broker supervision, legal obligations, risk management, and compliance with TREC rules.

Understanding those responsibilities is valuable whether you manage a large brokerage, supervise a small team, or operate independently.

What's Included in the Agent Results 18-Hour Broker CE Bundle?

Rather than selecting individual courses and calculating your hours, Agent Results Training offers a complete 18-hour package designed around the Texas broker renewal requirements.

1. Legal Update I — 4 Hours

The 2026–2027 Legal Update I course covers important Texas real estate laws, rules, forms, and legislative developments.

It provides four hours toward your mandatory continuing education requirements.

2. Legal Update II — 4 Hours

Legal Update II focuses on agency, ethics, and other important issues affecting Texas real estate professionals.

Combined with Legal Update I, these courses satisfy eight hours of the required CE curriculum.

3. Broker Responsibility — 6 Hours

The Broker Responsibility Course is a required component of Texas broker renewal education.

Agent Results Training currently offers the 2025–2026 Broker Responsibility curriculum.

This course examines the responsibilities and obligations associated with operating and supervising real estate activities in Texas.

It is particularly valuable for brokers who sponsor sales agents and license holders serving as delegated supervisors.

4. Residential Resale Contract Review — 3 Hours

Contracts are part of everyday real estate practice, but even experienced brokers benefit from reviewing contract provisions and commonly used addenda.

The Residential Resale Contract Review course examines the Texas One to Four Family Residential Contract (Resale), related addenda, important provisions, and practical considerations.

This course satisfies the three-hour contract-related education requirement included in Texas license renewal.

5. A.I. Agent — 1 Hour

Here is where the bundle offers something beyond required legal and broker education.

The one-hour A.I. Agent course introduces practical ways real estate professionals can use artificial intelligence in their businesses.

Topics include opportunities to use AI for real estate marketing, content creation, customer communication, and business productivity.

AI is not a substitute for professional judgment, supervision, or compliance, but it can be a useful tool when applied responsibly.

This course completes the final elective hour in the broker bundle.

Why Choose an 18-Hour Broker CE Bundle?

There are advantages to completing your continuing education through one package.

You don't have to piece together 18 separate hours.

The bundle includes courses covering the required education categories for a standard Texas broker renewal.

You can complete your education online.

Agent Results Training offers video-based courses that allow you to work through your education around appointments, client meetings, and other responsibilities.

You receive Texas-specific instruction.

Courses focus on the laws, forms, contracts, and practical considerations relevant to Texas real estate professionals.

You can learn something useful for your business.

Along with required legal and broker education, the A.I. Agent elective introduces technology that can support everyday real estate work.

Can Texas Brokers Complete All 18 CE Hours Online?

Yes. Texas brokers can complete their required continuing education through approved online courses.

Agent Results Training offers online, self-paced video courses, making it possible to work on your education without attending a traditional classroom.

You'll still need to complete the applicable course requirements and make sure your education is properly reflected in your TREC record.

Do Texas Real Estate Agents Who Supervise Other Agents Need Broker Responsibility?

Yes. A sales agent who has been designated as a supervisor under TREC rules must complete the Broker Responsibility Course.

That requirement is included within the applicable 18-hour continuing education requirement.

If you're uncertain whether your license record reflects delegated supervisory responsibilities, review your status with TREC before selecting your renewal courses.

What Happens If You Don't Complete Your Broker CE Before Renewal?

Failing to complete required continuing education on time can complicate your license renewal.

Depending on your circumstances, you may need to renew in inactive status or pay an applicable CE deferral fee to remain active while completing your education.

This is one reason we recommend reviewing your education status before your renewal deadline.

You can check the education credited to your license through the Texas Real Estate Commission.
