The Texas Real Estate Commission’s Broker Responsibility Advisory Committee (BRAC) held its first meeting of 2026 on January 21, focusing on several key issues affecting real estate brokerage in the state. The committee began by electing officers for the year. Ty Williams was reelected as presiding officer, Brian Sales as assistant presiding officer, and Marion Napoleon as secretary.
During the session, members discussed topics such as the role of transaction coordinators in real estate deals, changes in open house hosting practices following Senate Bill 1968, identification methods for teams and team leads, and designated brokers’ responsibilities for business entities. These subjects are expected to be revisited or included in future educational materials for the Broker Responsibility Course.
Committee members also requested that upcoming agendas address intermediary requirements when business entities share a designated broker, how long a license can remain inactive, and continuing education standards needed to maintain or reactivate an inactive license.
Future BRAC meetings are scheduled for April 8, July 8, and October 7 of this year.
