From TREC's license records, October 16, 2026. A sponsor is a licensed legal entity, not a brand — franchise offices register separately — and each agent is counted under their current sponsor and the county on their own license record. Brokers who sponsor as individuals are counted in the total but not named.
Who took on this county's newest agents: among Brazoria County agents first licensed in the last twelve months and now active, the most-common sponsors were THREE GREAT PARTNERS, L.L.C. (12), EXP REALTY LLC (11), AEA REALTY, LLC (4), BIRDSONG REAL ESTATE II, PLLC (4), CHANCE BROWN REAL ESTATE, LLC (3).
Sponsorship is not automatic. Of 134 Brazoria County sales agents licensed two to twelve months ago, 25 (19%) are still inactive — licensed, but with no sponsor on record. Statewide the figure is 19%.

How long licensing takes from here
Statewide, the median successful applicant goes from application to license in 115 days — TREC processes centrally, so your county changes your market, not your wait. See the full timing distribution
Considering the jump? The whole path — courses, exam, fingerprints, sponsorship — is laid out in TREC's order, with the measured numbers, in the requirements guide.
Already past that and choosing a school? The 180 hours are the biggest cost in the process, and the schools differ enormously in how their students actually do: every approved provider's TREC pass rate, with sample sizes and four picks.
