Texas real estate agents and brokers need 18 hours of TREC-approved continuing education to renew: 4 hours Legal Update I, 4 hours Legal Update II, 3 hours of contract-related courses, and 7 hours of electives. Texas Real Estate Academy (TREA) offers all 18+ hours online with instant TREC credit posting, so you can complete your renewal requirements from anywhere in Texas.

Question 3

Does TREA offer a free CE class I can try before buying?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Texas Real Estate Academy offers a free 2-hour Personality Profile CE class taught by DISC-certified psychologist Dr. Phillip Shero. You earn 2 real TREC-approved CE credit hours at no cost.

TREA offers three CE bundles: the Lunch Money Bundle (11 hours for $48), the Hall Pass Renewal Bundle (18 hours for $75 - covers all renewal requirements), and the Dean's List Bundle (25+ hours for $85 - includes every course). Individual courses are also available starting at $7.49 per elective. All bundles include Legal Update I & II (2026-2027).

Question 5

What is TREA's refund policy for CE courses?

Accepted Answer

Texas Real Estate Academy has a no-questions-asked refund policy. If you're not satisfied for any reason, you get your money back and you keep your CE hours. TREA is confident enough in the quality of its courses to offer this guarantee because the vast majority of students love the experience.

Question 6

Is Texas Real Estate Academy approved by TREC?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Texas Real Estate Academy is a TREC-approved CE provider (License #10010-CEP) and QE provider (#701062). You can verify TREA's approval status directly on the TREC website at trec.texas.gov. All TREA courses are approved for online and live in-person delivery.

Question 7

What makes Texas Real Estate Academy different from other Texas CE providers?

Accepted Answer

TREA differentiates on three things most CE providers can't match: instant TREC credit posting (approximately 3 seconds, 24/7), studio-quality video production shot in a professional green-screen studio (not PowerPoint recordings), and game-based learning that makes CE genuinely engaging. Add a no-questions-asked refund policy and a free 2-hour class, and there's no risk in trying it.
