Texas prepayment penalty rules

Texas permits prepayment penalties on residential first-lien mortgage loans where the interest rate does not exceed 12% per year. For loans with an interest rate greater than 12% on a residential homestead, prepayment penalties are prohibited unless required by a federal agency. No other conditions, time limits, or caps on penalty amounts are specified in the statute.
