Why this course exists

Every active Texas license holder takes Legal Update I every renewal cycle. TREC wrote that rule. We just refuse to let it bore you.

Legal Update I is one of the two courses TREC requires from every agent and every broker, every cycle. Most providers treat that as permission to phone it in. You are a captive audience, after all.

We went the other way. Michelle Stuart and David Offutt shot the 2026-2027 edition in TREA's studio, interview style. Two people who actually work in this business, talking through what changed and why it matters to your next transaction. You watch a conversation, not a slideshow.

Four hours of required texas real estate continuing education, done from your couch, with your credit posted to TREC before you stand up.
