How this practice test compares with the real state portion.
The real state appointment includes 10 unidentified pretest items. This practice test leaves them out so your result maps directly to the 40 scored-item passing line.
| Measure | Real state portion | This practice test | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scored items | 40 | 40 | Same scored length |
| Unscored pretest items | 10, not identified | None | Every practice item affects your score |
| Items displayed | 50 | 40 | Pearson adds the 10 pretest items |
| Time | 90 minutes | 72 minutes | Same average pace per displayed item |
| Passing line | 28 of 40 scored | 28 of 40 | Same raw threshold |
| Area allocation | 3, 3, 9, 11, 9, 5 | 3, 3, 9, 11, 9, 5 | Exact official area mix |
Why 72 minutes?
Pearson gives the separate state appointment 90 minutes for 50 displayed items, which is 1.8 minutes per item. Forty questions at the same pace take 72 minutes. Pearson does not publish 72 minutes as an official test limit. It is a proportional practice target.

Texas state practice questions with answers.
Use these untimed samples to see the writing style. The timed test keeps its answers hidden until you submit.
1. Which body writes the Texas Real Estate License Act (TRELA), and which body enforces it and adopts the rules?+
TREC Duties & Powers
- A. TREC writes the statute; the courts enforce it
- B. The Texas Legislature writes the statute; TREC enforces it and adopts the TREC Rules
- C. TREC writes both the statute and the rules
- D. The Governor writes the statute; TREC enforces it
Answer: B. The Texas Legislature writes the statute; TREC enforces it and adopts the TREC Rules
The Texas Legislature enacts TRELA, the statute. The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) administers and enforces the Act and adopts the TREC Rules. TREC does not write the statute itself.
Trap: The Legislature writes the law; TREC enforces it and makes rules. Do not give TREC the statute-writing power.
Source: Texas Occ. Code §1101.151
2. A person performs real estate brokerage activity for another for compensation. Under Texas law, that person must+
Licensing
- A. hold a Texas real estate license
- B. merely register with the local board
- C. be at least 25 years old, with no license
- D. hold an appraiser license
Answer: A. hold a Texas real estate license
A person who performs an act of real estate brokerage for another in exchange for compensation must hold a Texas real estate license. For a sales agent, that license must be held in the name of and supervised by a sponsoring broker.
Trap: Acting as a broker for compensation requires a license. Local registration or age alone is not enough.
Source: Texas Occ. Code §§1101.002(1), 1101.004, 1101.351(a)
3. A listing agent prefers a quick cash offer because it will close easily, so the agent withholds a higher offer with financing from the seller. Which professional standard is most directly violated?+
Standards of Conduct
- A. Fidelity, because the agent placed personal convenience above the client's interest
- B. Competency, because every financed offer requires an attorney
- C. Advertising, because the offer was not public
- D. No standard, because the agent may screen offers
Answer: A. Fidelity, because the agent placed personal convenience above the client's interest
The fidelity canon makes the client's interest the license holder's primary duty and bars putting a personal interest above it. Withholding an offer for the agent's convenience violates that duty. Separate minimum-services rules also require presentation of offers.
Trap: Do not confuse an agent's convenience with the client's interest. The seller decides which offer is preferable.
Source: 22 TAC §531.2; fidelity
4. A buyer and a seller in the same transaction are both represented by the same broker. Under Texas law, the broker may act as+
Texas Agency & Intermediary
- A. a dual agent with written consent
- B. an intermediary, with the written consent of both parties
- C. a transaction broker
- D. a single agent for both sides
Answer: B. an intermediary, with the written consent of both parties
Texas does not permit dual agency. When one broker represents both the buyer and the seller in the same transaction, the broker acts as an intermediary, which requires the written consent of both parties, typically obtained up front in the representation agreements.
Trap: Texas does not allow dual agency and does not use the transaction broker. The correct concept is intermediary with written consent.
Source: TRELA (Texas Occupations Code Ch. 1101.559-.561); intermediary
5. A Texas sales agent is negotiating the resale of an existing single-family home for a buyer. No Rule 537.11 exception applies. Which contract should the agent use?+
Texas Contracts & Forms
- A. Any residential contract the buyer prefers
- B. The current TREC One to Four Family Residential Contract (Resale)
- C. The Residential Condominium Contract (Resale)
- D. A contract drafted by the agent
Answer: B. The current TREC One to Four Family Residential Contract (Resale)
Rule 537.11(a) requires the contract form approved for mandatory use for the transaction unless an exception applies. Rule 537.28 adopts TREC No. 20-19 for residential resale.
Trap: Match the transaction to the mandatory form before thinking about addenda.
Source: 22 TAC §§537.11(a), 537.28
6. A married buyer purchases a Texas home with wages earned during the marriage. No separate-property facts are given. How is the home presumed to be classified?+
Special Topics (Texas)
- A. separate property of the spouse who earned more
- B. community property
- C. a joint tenancy with right of survivorship by default
- D. owned by the state until probate
Answer: B. community property
Property possessed by either spouse during or at dissolution of marriage is presumed community property. Overcoming that presumption requires clear and convincing evidence. The name on a deed does not replace the classification analysis.
Trap: Start with when and how the property was acquired, not whose name appears on the deed.
Source: Texas Family Code §§3.002, 3.003

Texas state portion practice test FAQ.
Where can I take a free Texas real estate state-only practice test?+
You can take the free 40-question state-only practice test on this page with no signup. It draws only from the six Texas Sales Agent State Law areas and gives you a score, area breakdown, explanations, traps, and source references after submission.
How many questions are on the Texas real estate state portion?+
The current Pearson VUE sales-agent outline lists 40 scored state-law items plus 10 unscored pretest items. The separate state appointment therefore presents 50 items, but only 40 determine the state score.
Why does this practice test have 40 questions instead of 50?+
This test measures the 40 scored-item blueprint directly. Pearson's additional 10 state items are unidentified pretest questions and do not affect the official score. Adding 10 ordinary scored practice questions would create a score that no longer maps cleanly to 28 of 40.
Why is the practice timer 72 minutes?+
Pearson lists 50 displayed state items in 90 minutes, an average of 1.8 minutes per item. Applying that pace to 40 scored practice questions gives 72 minutes. This is a training timer, not a separate time limit published by Pearson VUE.
What score should I aim for on this Texas state practice test?+
The official raw passing line is 28 correct out of 40 scored state-law items, or 70 percent. For readiness, aim to clear that line consistently on fresh questions and leave enough margin for unfamiliar wording and test-day pressure.
Does this test use the latest 2026 Texas state exam syllabus?+
Yes. The test follows the Texas Sales Agent State Law content outline effective January 1, 2026. The official document calls it a content outline rather than a syllabus. Its six area totals are 3, 3, 9, 11, 9, and 5 scored items.
What topics are included in the Texas state practice test?+
The test covers Commission Duties and Powers, Licensing, Standards of Conduct, Agency/Brokerage, Contracts, and Special Topics. Question selection also spreads across official subtopics before adding extra questions from the same subtopic.
Does the practice test include the 2026 buyer-agreement changes?+
Yes. The state question bank includes the written-agreement requirements effective January 1, 2026, including the representation and nonrepresentation showing paths explained by TREC.
Are these actual Pearson VUE exam questions?+
No. These are original Pass Texas questions written from the official outline, Texas statutes, TREC rules, and current forms. They are not copied, recalled, or reproduced Pearson VUE exam items.
Can I retake the state practice test?+
Yes. Each retake draws a fresh blueprint-weighted set from the state-law question pool. Your in-progress attempt is saved on the device, so refreshing the page does not erase your timer or answers.
Does passing this practice test guarantee I will pass the state exam?+
No. A practice result is evidence, not a guarantee. Use repeated fresh attempts, review guessed answers, and repair weak areas. You must also pass the National/General portion separately unless TREC has granted an applicable exemption.
