Requirements to Become Realtor in Texas Question

State of Texas.

I'm considering getting a real estate license in order to make it easier to invest. I'm just now starting to research this and have a major question.

Is it a requirement that you work for an agency or be sponsored by another agent after you receive your inactive license before you can use your license for yourself? Is it possible to obtain the inactive license and then use it as an air in personal real estate investing? I'm only interested in getting the license for my own use, so if I have to put in a year's worth of labor working for someone else just to be able to use the license for myself then it's not worth getting it as I already have a career that I'm not necessarily ready to leave.
