If D'andre's license is inactive due to not renewing on time, what is the minimum fine TREC can impose if he engages in brokerage activities?

The minimum fine that TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission) can impose for engaging in brokerage activities with an inactive license is indeed $1,000. This establishes a clear standard within Texas regulations regarding real estate practices. When a real estate professional allows their license to become inactive by failing to renew it on time, any continuation of brokerage activities can be viewed as a serious violation of licensing laws. TREC imposes fines as a deterrent to encourage compliance with license renewal requirements and to uphold the integrity of the real estate profession in Texas.

Other amounts listed as choices represent fines that may be applicable for different types of violations or repeat offenses but do not reflect the established minimum for the specific scenario of engaging in unauthorized brokerage activities with an inactive license.
