The Texas Real Estate Commission’s Broker Responsibility Advisory Committee (BRAC) convened its first meeting of 2026 on January 21, focusing on key issues affecting real estate brokerage practices in the state.
During the session, the committee held officer elections. Ty Williams was reelected as presiding officer, Brian Sales as assistant presiding officer, and Marion Napoleon as secretary.
Committee members discussed several topics relevant to brokerage operations. These included the role of transaction coordinators in real estate transactions and situations where showing agents host open houses. The discussion addressed recent changes under Senate Bill 1968 that impact these activities. Other subjects included how teams and team leads are identified within brokerages and the responsibility designated brokers have for business entities they oversee. The committee noted that many of these issues will continue to be considered or incorporated into future Broker Responsibility Course materials.
Looking ahead, BRAC members requested additional topics for upcoming meetings. These include intermediary requirements when business entities share a designated broker, rules regarding how long a license may remain inactive, and continuing education requirements for maintaining or reactivating an inactive license.
The next BRAC meetings are scheduled for April 8, July 8, and October 7 of 2026, each beginning at 10:00 a.m.
