What describes eligibility for a Texas real estate license regarding citizenship?

• A. Only U.S. citizens
• B. Lawfully admitted aliens only
• C. Any U.S. citizen or lawfully admitted alien
• D. Anyone regardless of immigration status

Answer: (C)

Eligibility for a Texas real estate license hinges on being legally eligible to work in the United States—citizenship status matters, but the state allows both citizens and those who are lawfully admitted aliens. This means you can qualify if you are a U.S. citizen or if you have valid immigration status that authorizes you to live and work in the U.S., such as a green card holder or another lawful status. The other options are too narrow or too broad: restricting to only citizens excludes eligible residents, restricting to lawfully admitted aliens excludes citizens, and allowing anyone regardless of status would ignore the requirement to be legally eligible to work.
