You can't be a buyers agent and not licensed.You can be an agent on INACTIVE status or an expired license but you cannot conduct any real estate activity that way.REALTOR is nothing more than a designation from NAR ( National Association of Realtors) lobbying group.

I must say, that my contractor search took place PRIOR to me getting the signed contract from Fannie Mae.So, I figured that they (the contractors) were not taking me seriously and decided to hire a company to conduct a feasibility study.

I don't think we can say what case law on a Series LLC has been in Texas, not sure it would make the evening news.I think you're way to concerned about the underlying issue, if a law exists for the formation of an entity and it is properly made and managed and has conducted business legally, no judge will toss it out, not even in Texas.You need to look into the details of management of an LLC, Series or just an LLC, neither are different except for accounting issues and that is not much different, just as accounts are prepared and taxes if you select each series to have its own or you file with a conolidated statement.
