COVID-19

I was scheduled to take my license exam and received a cancellation notice from Pearson VUE. What do I do?

If you received a cancellation notice, you would receive a full refund. Pearson VUE exam centers and third-party sites are slowly re-opening around the state.  All sites are practicing social distancing and have safety precautions in line with local jurisdictions that must be followed by both the test center staff and candidates.  If you have re-scheduled an exam, be sure to practice necessary safety precautions to remain safe and healthy. 

I understand TALCB is extending deadlines due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Does this apply to the deadlines associated with the National Registry of AMCs (AMC Registry)?

No. At this time, the Appraisal Subcommittee, the federal agency responsible for maintaining the AMC Registry, is not extending the deadline for compliance with the AMC Registry requirements. Because of this, the deadline for all AMCs registered in Texas to report their information to TALCB and pay any required fee is still March 31, 2020.

I am living in a city/county with a shelter-in-place order. As a member of the real estate/appraiser profession, is my occupation considered “essential business” that is exempt from the order?

Many cities and counties have issued shelter-in-place orders with varying definitions of what is considered “essential.” However, on March 30, 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order No.

Is the agency going to be understanding since many in-person classroom courses are canceled?

Yes. Please explore distance education options with your course provider and continue to check our website for updates. The Governor granted TALCB approval to waive all renewal and application deadlines through June 30, 2020. See the article on the agency’s website for more details.

I am in the process of completing my appraiser pre-licensing education and understand that final exams for courses must be proctored in a public place, by an authorized proctor. How can I take the exams and still engage in social distancing?

Criteria for pre-licensing courses and final exams is established by the AQB. We have requested clarification and expect a response very soon.
