Submitted by Christine Anderson on Fri, 2018-04-20 10:13The mission and performance of the Texas Real Estate Commission and Texas Appraiser Licensing & Certification Board are under review by the Legislature as required under the Texas Sunset Act. The Act provides that the Sunset Commission, composed of legislators and public members, periodically evaluate a state agency to determine if the agency is still needed and to explore ways to ensure that the agency's funds are well spent.

Appraising After a Natural Disaster
Submitted by Christine Anderson on Wed, 2017-08-30 16:13The appraiser faces many new challenges appraising after a natural disaster. To avoid problems there are several steps an appraiser can take. Keep in close contact with your clients about any outstanding assignments. Notify them of any delays you are experiencing. Make your client aware of the new challenges facing your appraisal practice. Questions to ask your client: Will you need additional services such as a re-inspection or revising the effective date? Are you aware that typical sources of data may no longer be available? Don’t assume everyone is aware of the problems you now face.
