Legal Update II (2026-2027)
Legal Update II (2026-2027)
The second half of your required legal hours -- contracts, addenda, and enforcement. The paperwork that pays your bills changed. Here is what changed, from a broker who signs it daily.
Legal Update I covers the rules. Legal Update II covers the paper -- the contracts and addenda you sign every week. Both are required. Only one of them is about your daily life this directly.
TREC requires Legal Update II from every active Texas license holder, every renewal cycle. This 4-hour course digs into contract updates, addendum changes, and the enforcement trends that turn small paperwork mistakes into formal complaints.
The 2026-2027 edition is shot in TREA's studio, interview style -- Michelle Stuart and David Offutt working through each topic together on camera. Michelle is a working broker; the forms in this course are the forms on her desk. When she flags a clause, it is because she has watched it blow up a deal.
Pair it with Legal Update I (2026-2027) and your 8 required legal hours are done.
