@Pari Rizwan I'm not sure what your background is or what your goals are except to become a licensed agent but your best bet is to start with the Texas Real Estate Commission. This should at least point you in the right direction. https://www.trec.texas.gov/become-licensed/sales-agent

@Pari Rizwan I don't have a clue as to what your goals in the real estate industry are so I would have no way of knowing if a sales agent license would be of a benefit to you. My best advice without knowing what you want to do would be to attend some of the local meet ups and to reach out to a local real estate broker at one of the big name brokerages to discuss whether this is a viable path.

Thanks mike castellow, thank you so much, my goal is to become a realstate broker but before being broker i must have real state agent experience (according to my knowledge). I am a new entrant in USA i know any local meetups i would be gratfull if you would suggest me some , and secondly would those people allow me to attend?
