Our TREC inspector license authorizes us to perform real estate inspections in accordance with the Texas Real Estate Commission’s Standards of Practice (Title 22, Texas Administrative Code §§ 535.227–535.233). Standard inspections are visual evaluations of the systems and components of one to four family residential properties.
Several specialty inspections in Texas require licenses we do not hold. We will not perform these directly, and we will coordinate with appropriately licensed specialists when these are needed:
If we identify conditions during an inspection that warrant specialty evaluation, our report will explicitly note this and recommend referral to the appropriate licensed professional.
The Texas Occupations Code requires every active TREC-licensed real estate inspector to carry errors and omissions (E&O) insurance. Legacy Inspections PLLC maintains current E&O coverage as required by law. Proof of coverage is on file with TREC and is updated at every license renewal. A copy of our certificate of insurance is available upon request.
If you believe a TREC-licensed inspector has violated the Texas Real Estate License Act or the Standards of Practice, you may file a complaint directly with the Texas Real Estate Commission.

If you have concerns about an inspection report or service you received from Legacy Inspections, we strongly encourage you to contact us first at (254) 654-1441 or gregg@inspectwithlegacy.com so we can discuss and address any issues directly. Filing a TREC complaint does not require prior contact with us — it remains your right at any time.
TREC administers two recovery funds (the Real Estate Recovery Trust Account and the Real Estate Inspection Recovery Fund) that may be used to satisfy certain judgments against TREC license holders involving violations of the License Act. These funds provide an additional measure of consumer financial protection beyond an inspector’s required errors and omissions insurance. Complete information about recovery fund eligibility, claim procedures, and limits is available in the Texas Real Estate Commission Consumer Protection Notice and on the TREC website.
Inspections of one to four family residential properties are documented on the TREC-promulgated Property Inspection Report (REI 7-X). Our reports use this required form and additionally include photographs, severity flags, and supplemental narrative as appropriate. Inspections of property other than one to four family residential may be documented under a different format as permitted by TREC rules.

Proof of coverage must be filed with TREC at the time of licensing and at every renewal. Legacy Inspections PLLC maintains current E&O coverage as required by law.
Several specialty inspections require licenses beyond the TREC inspector license: wood-destroying insect inspections require a license from the Texas Structural Pest Control Service; mold assessments require a license from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR); plumbing repairs and certain plumbing tests require a license from the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Legacy Inspections is licensed to perform real estate inspections under TREC and coordinates with licensed specialists for any inspection scope requiring additional licensing.
The Texas Real Estate Commission Standards of Practice for inspectors are codified in Title 22, Texas Administrative Code §§ 535.227–535.233 and are available in current form at trec.texas.gov/online-sops.
