A Texas licensee convicted of a felony:
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices

A is incorrect because Texas law doesn't mandate automatic license revocation for felony convictions. While serious, the outcome requires a hearing where TREC considers various factors before deciding on disciplinary action.
May have their license suspended or revoked
Can continue practicing
C is incorrect because practicing with a felony conviction without TREC approval would violate licensing requirements. Licensees must maintain compliance with all state regulations to continue practicing legally.
Must pay a fine only
D is incorrect because fines alone aren't the only consequence. TREC has broader authority including suspension or revocation, not just monetary penalties, for felony convictions.
