Explanation
TREC is a state agency created and governed by statute (Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1101). Its authority is defined by the Legislature, and significant changes to TREC's jurisdiction, fees, or requirements typically require legislative action. TREC can adopt rules within its statutory authority but cannot expand that authority on its own.
