The Texas Real Estate Commission met?February 13 in Austin and adopted amendments to Section 535.223, Standard Inspection Report Form, which will become effective March 7.
The changes clarify that when multiple boxes are checked for a particular item on the?Property Inspection Report Form?(REI 7-6), the inspector must also explain the reason for checking multiple boxes.
The adopted amendments also remove single-system inspections from the list of exemptions?meaning the requirements in Section 535.223 would apply to those inspections.
Also during the TREC Meeting earlier this month, the Commission proposed a change to Section 535.222(a)(2) to clarify that in instances where payments are provided in full prior to the inspection, the inspector is required deliver the report to the client within two days of completion of the inspection.

Newly elected Texas Real Estate Inspector Committee Chair Lee Warren shares what the committee has been working on and its initiatives moving forward, including updating the legal and ethics course for inspectors.
The new?Notice of Apprentice/Real Estate Inspector Termination Form?(REI-TS-0) may be used by inspectors to terminate a trainee or real estate inspector relationship. The form includes a line for the sponsoring inspector to fill in the inspector?s DBA, so TREC staff can remove that information from the terminated inspector?s records.?
