What is Texas TREC and the REI 7-6 form
TREC is the Texas Real Estate Commission, which licenses home inspectors in Texas. Licensed inspectors must use the REI 7-6 form — the standard Texas inspection report — for all transactions.
The REI 7-6 has a defined structure:
- Sections — structural systems, electrical systems, HVAC, plumbing, appliances, optional systems
- Inspection types — Inspected (I), Not Inspected (NI), Not Present (NP), Deficient (D)
- Comments — required for any finding marked Deficient, optional for others
- Format — TREC-defined layout that real estate agents, lenders, and clients in Texas all expect
Generic out-of-state inspection software either doesn't have REI 7-6 or has a poor approximation. Texas inspectors need the real form.
How InspectorData supports TREC inspections
The REI 7-6 is pre-loaded as a primary template. The mobile app captures findings using TREC's I/NI/NP/D classification. Photo categorization places photos in TREC sections.
Comment library uses TREC-appropriate language: - Defect descriptions phrased per TREC norms - Required-comment fields populated for D-marked items - Avoids code-compliance language (TREC scope is visible defects)
Reports format to TREC's expected layout. The output is what Texas real estate agents and clients expect to see.
Why standards alignment matters for inspectors
Standards-aligned reports earn trust. Real estate agents, attorneys, insurance carriers, and lenders all assume inspections follow recognized standards (InterNACHI SOP, ASHI, CREIA, TREC, OIR, NHD).
A report that doesn't follow the standard creates friction:
- Closing agents flag inconsistencies
- Carriers reject reports that don't match the form spec
- Attorneys argue scope in litigation
- Real estate agents stop referring inspectors whose reports cause friction
InspectorData's standards-alignment work has been done up-front. The inspector picks the relevant standard or form, runs the inspection, and the platform produces output that matches what the receiving party expects.
