Summary

Every fee counts toward the 36 percent.

The bill caps the annual percentage rate at 36 percent on any consumer loan that a credit services organization arranges or helps a consumer get. The rate must count everything the borrower pays, including interest, lender charges, and any fees the credit services organization or its representative collects. That reaches payday and auto-title style credit access businesses, whose fees become subject to the cap for loans made on or after September 1, 2025.

A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to a restriction on total charges charged for extensions

of consumer credit that a credit services organization obtains for

a consumer or assists a consumer in obtaining.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Subchapter D, Chapter 393, Finance Code, is

amended by adding Section 393.308 to read as follows:

Sec. 393.308. RESTRICTION ON CHARGES CHARGED IN CONNECTION

WITH EXTENSIONS OF CONSUMER CREDIT. (a) For purposes of this

section, the annual percentage rate of an extension of consumer

credit is calculated including the total charges charged to the

consumer in connection with the extension of consumer credit,

including interest, lender charges, and any fees or any other

valuable consideration received by the credit services

organization or a representative of the organization.

(b) The annual percentage rate of an extension of consumer

credit that a credit services organization obtains for a consumer

or assists a consumer in obtaining may not exceed 36 percent.

SECTION 2. Section 393.602(b), Finance Code, is amended to

read as follows:

(b) Subject to Section 393.308, a [ A ] credit access business

may assess fees for its services as agreed to between the parties.

A credit access business fee may be calculated daily, biweekly,

monthly, or on another periodic basis. A credit access business is

permitted to charge amounts allowed by other laws, as applicable. A

fee may not be charged unless it is disclosed.

SECTION 3. Section 393.308, Finance Code, as added by this

Act, applies only to an extension of consumer credit made on or

after the effective date of this Act. An extension of consumer

credit made before the effective date of this Act is governed by the

law in effect on the date the extension of consumer credit was made,

and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.

SECTION 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
