Thinking of getting my RE license

My husband and I are just getting into REI and thinking we are going to have to start working with mostly 100k houses and below. Because of the smaller profit margins and the higher lenders fees we will have to pay starting out, it seems every bit counts. So I've been thinking of getting my RE license to help cut costs. I see the test failure rate here in Texas is surprisingly high. Im not too worried about passing myself, but I am curious about where it's best to get my education from? So Im looking for suggestions about where to get my education for a Texas license? I've also heard some people get sponsored for some of their education costs. Where do I find out about that? Also, are there any limitations about being your own agent for your own REI homes here in Texas? I haven't gotten much info on it, but from what I have heard, I think you're allowed, as long as you disclose this to your buyers? Any info or suggestions about becoming an RE agent and REI pros and cons are very appreciated. Thanks!
