## Resource

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Why TREC's primary goal with promulgated forms is public protection and preventing the unauthorized practice of law. - The critical difference between an addendum (used before signing) and an amendment (used after signing). - That using promulgated forms is mandatory for Texas license holders whenever a relevant form exists for the transaction. - The key exceptions to mandatory use, including forms prepared by property owners, attorneys, or required by government agencies. - A mnemonic to recall the exceptions: "Agents Are Protected when Government has No Form" (Agent as principal, Attorney, Property owner, Government, No form exists).
