You will also be able to download Texas REALTORS® form 2303, Brokerage Policies and Procedures Acknowledgment and Agreement, which brokers may use to ensure each sales associate has acknowledged receipt and understands the terms of any brokerage policies and procedures manual.
Texas REALTORS® is offering the Model Brokerage Policies and Procedures manual for $99.99 plus tax.
Much of the policies and procedures contained within are derived from TREC rules, rules which must be complied with by Texas real estate licensees. Some of the policies or procedures, however, are derived from other sources, such as state and federal laws, and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) Code of Ethics.

The inclusion of certain provisions of the NAR Code of Ethics in these materials is not intended to heighten the duty of care for a Texas real estate licensee. Unlike Texas real estate licensees who are not REALTOR® members, members of Texas REALTORS® hold themselves to the ethical ideals set forth in the NAR Code of Ethics.
It is not the intention of Texas REALTORS® that these materials be all-encompassing. Brokers should take care to ensure that all relevant rules or laws affecting real estate or their business are complied with by all Sales Associates and non-licensed employees of the Broker. A Broker may attach additional policies or procedures, as long as those policies or procedures are not in conflict with the minimum standards of TREC or other legal requirements. Additionally, all REALTORS® must comply with all Articles and Standards of Practice under the NAR Code of Ethics.
