Yes, the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) allows real estate agents to use an entity like a limited liability company (LLC) as a business structure. However, there are specific requirements that must be met in order to comply with TREC regulations.

Texas Occupations Code 1101.355(c) states that an LLC “that receives compensation on behalf of a license holder must be licensed as a broker.”

To be eligible for a license, an LLC must: (1) designate one of its managing officers as its broker who is a licensed individual broker in active status and good standing according to TREC’s records and (2) provide proof that the entity maintains errors and omissions insurance with a minimum annual limit of $1 million for each occurrence if the designated broker owns less than 10 percent of the business entity.
