An auctioneer sells or offers to sell property at an auction as a bid caller. Services provided by an auctioneer include arranging, managing, sponsoring, advertising and/or conducting auctions. Licenses are required for both auctioneer and associate auctioneer. An associate auctioneer has less responsibility but works under the direct supervision of an auctioneer.

Here are the public comments on general topics received during the 2012 Strategic Planning process. The comments are grouped as answers to the four questions we based our discussions on.
- What are we doing well?
- What can we do better?
- If you could change one service that we provide or eliminate or amend any provision of TDLR’s statutes or rules, what would it be?
- What major changes will occur over the next five years that will impact the way you do business and the services we provide?

Updated Auctioneer administrative rules now online
TDLR adopted amendments to Auctioneer administrative rules. The adoption takes effect April 30, 2012. The amendments to the rules are necessary to implement the procedure for allowing a licensee to place an auctioneer or associate auctioneer license on ‘inactive status’. The amendments clarify that a person whose license is on inactive status does not need to complete continuing education until the license status is changed to ‘active’. The amendments set a fee of $25 to change to ‘active’ status. For more information, read the justification for the adopted rules.
The Auctioneer Education Advisory Board met March 30 in Austin. View the agenda. The meeting was archived and is available for viewing in RealPlayer.
