2026 Shaping Texas Conference

August 26-30
San Antonio

The 2025 Texas REALTORS® Shaping Texas Conference brought together thousands of REALTORS® from all over Texas to discuss real estate issues, connect with colleagues, and conduct association business. The event equipped members with actionable insights and tools to better showcase their value as real estate professionals. Below are a few of the many highlights.

The Texas REALTORS® Board of Directors took action on two items:

  • Passed a motion to amend the bylaws to provide better representation on the Executive Board and Board of Directors when local associations merged.
  • Passed $10 Legal Fund and $30 Issues Mobilization/Political Advocacy Fund (IM/PAF) assessments. Both amounts are unchanged from last year.
