The Texas Real Estate Commission’s Broker Responsibility Advisory Committee (BRAC) convened its first meeting of 2026 on January 21 to address a range of issues related to brokerage practices. The committee began by electing its officers for the year, with Ty Williams continuing as presiding officer, Brian Sales as assistant presiding officer, and Marion Napoleon as secretary.
During the meeting, BRAC members discussed several topics including the role of transaction coordinators in real estate transactions and the responsibilities associated with showing agents hosting open houses. These discussions were particularly relevant following recent changes in Texas law under Senate Bill 1968. Other agenda items included how teams and team leads are identified within brokerages and the accountability of designated brokers for business entities. The committee indicated that many of these subjects will be revisited in future meetings or incorporated into upcoming Broker Responsibility Course materials.
Looking ahead, committee members requested that future meetings address intermediary requirements for business entities sharing a designated broker, rules regarding the duration a license can remain inactive, and ongoing education requirements for maintaining or reactivating an inactive license.
The next scheduled BRAC meetings are set for April 8, July 8, and October 7, all at 10:00 a.m.
