A gentleman to whom I was showing a house told me he was going to sell his aunt's house for her. Selling property for a relative or a friend requires a real estate license - http://www.dumanlaw.com/newscol/reallic.html
"Practicing real estate without an active license is a criminal offense, specifically, a Class A misdemeanor punishable by confinement of up to one year in a county jail and a fine of up to $4,000.00. [TRELA §1101.756] TREC can also pursue administrative penalties not to exceed $5,000 for each violation. Each day a violation continues can be considered a separate violation for imposition of the administrative penalties.
[§1101.702 of the License Act] The Commission may also issue a “cease and desist” order. [§1101.759 of the License Act] Finally, as a State Agency represented in civil court proceedings, TREC can obtain injunctive relief, including court costs and attorneys fees incurred in obtaining such relief. [TRELA §1101.751]" - Texas Real Estate commission Web site.
