While the Fannie Mae Form 2000 is the most common form used for reviews by fee appraisers TALCB cannot endorse a particular form. If an AMC wants to use a Fannie Mae form or other available industry form, the AMC should ensure that the form complies with the TALCB rule requirements (22 Tex. Admin. Code § 159.155), including the appropriate scope of work.

The circumstances of each complaint are unique, so there is no standard complaint resolution time. Once TALCB has received a response, a complaint can take anywhere from 30 days to several months to investigate and resolve. Most complaints are investigated and resolved within one-year from the date the complaint was filed.
Under the Texas Public Information Act, most government records are available to the public if requested in writing.

Unfortunately, no. TALCB Standards and Enforcement Services is responsible for investigating and resolving complaints, but we cannot review an appraisal report to predetermine if there are issues warranting the filing of a complaint. If you are unwilling to file a complaint, or have questions about whether doing so is the right thing to do, you may want to contact a qualified appraiser or a Certified USPAP Instructor for guidance or consult an attorney for legal advice.
Submit a written request to our TALCB Standards and Enforcement. Be sure to include the complaint number, your name, the reason you are requesting the extension and the amount of time needed to respond. Please note that extensions will only be granted for good cause. TALCB Standards and Enforcement will contact you about your request.
