Arizona property management operators — particularly those in the Phoenix and Tucson markets — are increasingly looking at Texas as a natural expansion market. The two states share similar landlord-friendly legal environments, but Texas requires its own TREC-licensed designated broker for any property management activity.
Texas Entry Requirements
Texas does not recognize reciprocal licenses for property management. Every out-of-state PM company must complete these steps before managing a single Texas property.
01
Form a Texas LLC or corporation with the Texas Secretary of State. Your home-state entity cannot directly operate in Texas without a registered Texas entity.
02
The designated officer or managing member of your Texas entity must obtain a TREC real estate license. This process typically takes 60–90 days.
03
Your Texas entity must be sponsored by a TREC-licensed designated broker. Texas Broker Sponsor™ provides this through PM Accelerator™ or PM Multi-family Enterprise™.
Why Texas
Arizona operators expanding into Texas typically manage SFR portfolios and are looking to replicate their Phoenix-market model in Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio.
