You can take the classes online @Miguel B. yet you have to be fingerprinted before you can take the State & National Test. The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) gives a great idea of the getting licensed fees not including school. 

Great follow-up question @Laura Sulak because that's where the real money is spent. You cannot practice real estate until you are sponsored by a broker (e.i. Keller Williams, RE/MAX, etc.). Joining one of those brokerages will cost you a monthly fee. At the completion of your first year you must meet the Continuing Education (CE) requirements to renew your license. After that first year renewal is every two-years. Don't let all the hours scare you. If you have a college degree some of those credit may count toward your required hours. TREC & the school you attend will let you know what will count. Let's call it over $1,000/year in dues & fees not including those due monthly to your broker and costs to take continuing education classes and market yourself. 

Check out Champions School of Real Estate. You can do it all online.
