If you have been made a supervisor by your broker for six months or more, you need to take the six-hour Broker Responsibility course to renew.
There are two options to knock out your SAE qualifying hours:
- Enroll in ABoR's SAE Program. It's the most affordable way to meet your first license renewal requirement!
- Take GRI Brokerage, Marketing: Business Skills, and Contracts to Close, part of the Graduate REALTOR® Institute designation, and earn qualifying SAE hours or all of your license renewal elective CE hours for that renewal period.

- Cost: Varies
- Required by: TREC
- Hours: 18 hours (4 hours TREC Legal I, 4 hours TREC Legal II, 3 hours of contract-related coursework, 7 CE elective hours).
If you are a broker holding sales agent licenses or a sales agent that has been made a supervisor by your broker for six months or more, you are mandated to take six hours of Broker Responsibility as part of your 18 hour CE requirement.
