RENEW YOUR TEXAS MORTGAGE BROKER LICENSE OR LOAN OFFICER LICENSE

The Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending, an agency of the Finance Commission of Texas, regulates licensure of mortgage brokers and loan officers doing business within the state.
According to the Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending a mortgage broker is defined as any individual who receives an application from a prospective borrower to attempt to obtain a mortgage loan. Real estate brokers and salespeople are not exempt from the MBLA. If you are brokering first lien mortgage loans, you must apply for and establish that you meet all of the multiple criteria for a mortgage broker license. Under the statute, a real estate broker’s license fulfills the experience requirement, but a real estate saleslicense does not.

If you are not currently licensed as an active real estate broker in Texas (for instance, if you are licensed in another state or your Texas license has lapsed), you would not meet the experience requirement for a Texas mortgage broker license.

The following ACC courses will meet the initial education requirements to obtain a license; RELE 1319 Real Estate Finance and RELE 1324 Loan Origination and Quality Control.
