Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board Mentors are an essential component in ensuring appraiser competency. Mentors are licensed appraisers who have 10 or more years of experience, no disciplinary history, and are certified Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) instructors or approved instructors for other recognizable appraiser designations.

The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board opens each meeting with a “mission moment,” where one Board member reflects on what it means to them to be a part of the Board or shares their motivation.  At the November meeting, Mark McAnally shared his thoughts on TALCB, recalling his years of experience on the Board:

The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB) is pleased to announce the launch of the TALCB complaint portal. This simple-to-use tool allows consumers to file complaints directly on the TALCB website.  It also allows consumers to check the status of their complaints online.  In addition, it integrates backend efficiencies for staff, which decreases complaint processing times.  The complaint portal is located on the Filing a Complaint page of the TALCB website.

At the May Board meeting, Public member Claton Black shared his thoughts on his time with the Board and the Board's mission. His "Mission Moment" is below:

Fifteen years ago, I moved back to Texas. I wanted to be a part of the community and get involved at the local and state level. I applied for leadership roles in my area and also at the state level. I was fortunate enough to be appointed to the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board eight years ago. I now have two years left serving with this fantastic group of public servants.
