How long must a person wait to apply for a new license once their previous license has been revoked?

In Texas, if a real estate license has been revoked, the individual must wait for a specific period before they are eligible to apply for a new license. This waiting period is set at two years. During this time, the individual is expected to reflect on the reasons for the revocation and address any issues that contributed to the loss of their license.

The two-year requirement serves as a regulatory measure to ensure that those seeking a new license demonstrate improved compliance with the laws and regulations governing real estate practice in Texas. It allows for a time of reflection and, potentially, personal or professional development to ensure that the applicant does not repeat past mistakes.

Understanding this timeline is crucial for aspiring licensees, as it directly impacts their ability to re-enter the real estate field after a license revocation.
