Contributions are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Contributions to the Texas REALTORS® Political Action Committee (TREPAC) and the Texas Association of REALTORS® Federal Political Action Committee (TAR FedPAC)—which makes contributions to the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC)—are voluntary and may be used for political purposes. The amount indicated is merely a guideline, and you may contribute more or less than the suggested amount. You may refuse to contribute without reprisal, and the National Association of REALTORS®, Texas REALTORS®, and its local associations will not favor or disadvantage anyone because of the amount contributed. Until the RPAC annual goal is met, 70% of an individual’s contribution goes to TREPAC and may be used to support state and local candidates; the remaining 30% is sent to TAR FedPAC to support federal candidates and is charged against your limits under 52 U.S.C. 30116. (Exception: 100% of an individual’s contribution goes to TREPAC if the individual is an employee of an affiliate member of Texas REALTORS®.) After the RPAC annual goal is met, 100% of an individual’s contribution goes to TREPAC and may be used to support state and local candidates.

Updated Consumer Protection Notice Now Required by TREC |
|
The newly updated Consumer Protection Notice (CPN) required for use as of February 1, 2021, is available on the Texas Real Estate Commission's website.
The CPN must be displayed in a readily noticeable location in each place of business the broker maintains and a link must be posted on your business website homepage in a readily noticeable place. The website's link must either state "Texas Real Estate Commission Consumer Protection Notice" in at least 10-point font or "TREC Consumer Protection Notice," in at least 12-point font.
To ensure that the transition from the previous version of the notice to the updated version was as easy as possible, the URL for the updated notice is the same as the old version. As a result, if a website currently includes a link to the CPN in compliance with the above posting requirements, no action is needed.
