This is a proposal being studied, not a rule. As of August 9, 2026, no Texas transaction coordinator disclosure form exists. Nothing is required of agents, brokers, or TCs because of this discussion. This page tracks a slow-moving TREC committee conversation — verify current status at trec.texas.gov/news-articles before relying on anything below, since committee timelines shift and this page can go stale between updates.
What actually happened, in order
This traces back to Texas Real Estate Commission's Broker Responsibility Advisory Committee (BRAC) — a standing TREC advisory committee, not a rulemaking body itself. Here's the exact sequence, sourced from TREC's own published meeting recaps:
- April 8, 2026 — BRAC meeting. The committee took public comment expressing concern about the growing use of transaction coordinators, particularly unlicensed ones — TCs handling sensitive contract and financial information, TCs working across multiple brokerages with unclear supervision lines, and general consumer-protection questions. In response, BRAC asked TREC's Broker-Lawyer Committee to investigate the possible development of a consumer disclosure form about transaction coordinators, including identifying whether a transaction coordinator is licensed or unlicensed. That's a referral asking another committee to study an idea — not a vote to create a form, and not a rule.
- April 10, 2026 — Broker-Lawyer Committee meeting. The committee acknowledged transaction coordinator considerations as one of several broader issues flagged for future discussion, alongside unrelated topics like time-of-the-essence clauses. No disclosure form was drafted or proposed at this meeting.
- July 14, 2026 — BRAC meeting. The committee picked the topic back up, continuing its discussion of transaction coordinators and possible ways to improve consumer transparency. After hearing public input and discussing potential disclosure options, BRAC agreed to table the topic until its next meeting.
- October 7, 2026 — BRAC's next scheduled meeting. This is the earliest point where further movement — including whether the Broker-Lawyer Committee has produced any draft language — is likely to surface. Nothing is scheduled to take effect on this date; it is simply when the committee is expected to revisit the topic.
What this means today
Nothing. There is no TREC-promulgated form, no proposed rule text, and no compliance deadline tied to this discussion. A transaction coordinator working in Texas today — licensed or unlicensed — operates under the same rules that applied before April 2026. If you're an agent, broker, or TC wondering whether you need to start disclosing anything new: you don't, because nothing has been adopted.
Why this is still worth watching. The underlying concern — that consumers often don't know whether the person coordinating their transaction is a licensed real estate professional or an unlicensed administrative worker — is a real and recurring topic across multiple 2026 BRAC meetings, not a one-off comment. If TREC eventually does propose a form, it would likely follow the same path SB 1968 and the IABS 1-2 update did: public comment, committee drafting, a formal proposal, and an adoption date announced well in advance. That process has not started yet for this topic.
Stop tracking deadlines manually.
Whatever TREC eventually decides on this proposal, Dossie tracks every TREC deadline for every active deal today — option period, earnest money, financing, closing — so nothing slips while the industry conversation plays out.

Does Texas currently require a transaction coordinator disclosure form? +
No. As of August 9, 2026, no such form exists or is required. TREC's Broker Responsibility Advisory Committee asked its Broker-Lawyer Committee to investigate developing one, but that's a request to study an idea, not an adopted requirement.
What did TREC's Broker Responsibility Advisory Committee actually vote to do about transaction coordinators? +
At its April 8, 2026 meeting, BRAC asked the Broker-Lawyer Committee to investigate the possible development of a consumer disclosure form about transaction coordinators, including identifying whether a TC is licensed or unlicensed. That's a referral to study the idea, not a vote adopting a form or rule.
When will TREC decide whether to require a TC disclosure form? +
There's no set timeline. BRAC discussed the topic again on July 14, 2026 and tabled it until its next meeting, October 7, 2026. Whether the Broker-Lawyer Committee has drafted anything by then is unknown — check TREC's own news and articles page for the latest recap before assuming any date is firm.
Do unlicensed transaction coordinators have to disclose their license status to clients in Texas today? +
There's no TREC-mandated disclosure form requiring this today. Separately, an unlicensed TC is already restricted under existing Texas rules to ministerial tasks and cannot hold themselves out as a licensed agent — but that's a distinct, existing rule, not the new consumer disclosure form BRAC is studying.
