When must changes in sponsorship be reported to TREC?

Changes in sponsorship must be reported to the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) immediately to ensure that licensing records are up to date and accurately reflect the current status of the inspector’s professional affiliations. Timely reporting is critical because it maintains transparency and compliance with state regulations, which are designed to protect consumers and ensure that home inspectors are operating under the auspices of a valid and recognized sponsor. Immediate reporting helps avoid potential misunderstandings or legal issues that could arise from a lapse in proper sponsorship.

While there may be other points in time, such as at the end of the month or during annual reviews, these do not align with the requirement for urgent reporting. Immediate notification is essential for maintaining active and compliant status within the industry.
