The Texas Real Estate Commission’s Broker Responsibility Advisory Committee (BRAC) convened its first meeting of 2026 on January 21 to address issues related to brokerage practices in the state.
During the session, committee members elected officers for the year. Ty Williams will continue as presiding officer, Brian Sales remains assistant presiding officer, and Marion Napoleon continues as secretary.
Discussions at the meeting focused on several topics impacting real estate transactions. These included the use of transaction coordinators, situations where showing agents host open houses—especially following changes in Texas law under Senate Bill 1968—and how teams and team leads are identified. The committee also addressed the responsibility of designated brokers for business entities. Some of these matters are expected to be included in future updates to the Broker Responsibility Course materials.
Looking ahead, committee members requested additional discussion on intermediary requirements involving business entities with a shared designated broker, rules regarding how long a license can remain inactive, and continuing education standards for reactivating or maintaining an inactive license.
The next BRAC meetings are scheduled for April 8, July 8, and October 7, all at 10:00 a.m.
