Answer: False

Reflexive verbs are transitive verbs whose action falls on the same subject that performs them. In other words, they refer to an action of a subject on itself.

They are used together with reflexive pronouns, which are shown below according to the personal pronoun used:

1st person singular Yo (I): me

2nd person singular (informal) Tú (You): te

2nd person singular (formal) Usted (You): se

3rd person singular Él/Ella/eso/esa (He/She/It): se

1st person plural Nosotros (We): nos

2nd person plural Ustedes (You) (In latinAmerica): se

2nd person plural Vosotros (You) (In Spain): os

3rd person plural Ellos/Ellas (They): se

Now, Reflexive pronouns are located:

1. before a verb in any of its personal forms, for example:

La niña se peina

The girl combs

2. before the imperative in negative form and following the affirmative imperative, for example:

¡No te peines!

Do not comb!

¡Apúrate!

Hurry up!

¡Apúrale!

Hurry!

3. before a verbal periphrasis or behind the infinitive of it, for example:

Ella va a casarse

She is going to get married

Ella se va a casar

She is getting married

4. in the formula to be + gerund, the pronoun can also go before or after, for example:

Ella está peinándose

She is combing her hair

Ella se está peinando

She is combing her hair

So, as you can see, a reflexive verb may end in le, me, te, se, nos, os, not only in le.

Therefore, if a verb ends in le, it may be a reflexive verb, but this is not the only rule to identify it.
