What TREC Does With Administrative-Penalty Funds

When a real estate license holder is found in violation of The Real Estate License Act, the Texas Real Estate Commission can impose an administrative penalty. The law requires that these administrative-penalty funds be deposited into the Real Estate Recovery Trust Account, which disperses money to 消费者 owed damages due to a license holder’s conduct and subsequent inability to pay. Consumers can apply for reimbursement from this trust account after filing a suit and obtaining a court judgment for damages against a licensed real estate broker, 销售代理, 或地役权/通行权代理人.
