The Texas Real Estate Commission recently released complaint counts for March 2016 to March 2017.
Among the 1,256 total allegations in that time period, the most complaints were under TREC’s “Sales-other” category, which includes violations such as general negligence, false promises, improper rebates, and earnest-money issues not related to leasing and property management.
The second TREC category with the most complaints was “Breach of fiduciary duty,” which includes making a false promise. “Licensure issues”—for example, failing to disclose criminal history—was the third-ranked TREC category with the most complaints.
