The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) is looking to modernize its current system processes, eliminate redundancies and improve its services provided to stakeholders by transitioning to a new regulatory database.

According to the agency’s strategic plan for fiscal years 2025-2029, TREC’s current database does not allow for the submission of application documentation online; while applications can be completed and submitted through the database, documentation must be submitted via email.

The current system also forces staff to communicate through a separate letter system rather than within the database itself, requiring notices and licenses to be printed and mailed to applicants and license holders without valid email addresses.

TREC plans to implement a database system that will allow for the uploading of all documents online, automate status report data, facilitate electronic-only correspondence and eliminate print and mail notices.

In addition to procuring a new regulatory database, TREC also plans to expand the total number of services that can be completed through online transactions.
