Trela Trec RulesDisciplinary_actionsHARD

Under TRELA, a license holder who is also a member of a local Board of Realtors faces an ethics complaint through both the Board's arbitration process and a TREC complaint. Under TREC rules, how do these two processes relate?

Correct Answer

A) The TREC complaint process and the Board's ethics process are independent and separate; TREC is not bound by the Board's findings

TREC's complaint and disciplinary process is independent of any private trade organization's ethics proceedings. TREC conducts its own investigation and makes its own determinations based on TRELA and TREC rules. The Board of Realtors' findings do not bind TREC.

Answer Options
A
The TREC complaint process and the Board's ethics process are independent and separate; TREC is not bound by the Board's findings
B
The Board's ethics decision is binding on TREC, and TREC must adopt the Board's findings
C
The TREC complaint is automatically stayed until the Board's ethics process is completed
D
The license holder must choose one process and waive the other; both cannot proceed simultaneously
