How Texas Payday Loans Work: Rates, Fees & Terms
Short-term financing in Texas commonly follows a two-part cost structure.
Our platform is a loan matching service, not a direct lender. We connect applicants with licensed Credit Access Businesses and their third-party lending partners.
A CAB is a licensed broker regulated by the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner. It helps the consumer obtain financing from an independent third-party lender.
The total repayment generally includes two separate components
-
Lender Interest: The third-party lender charges base interest, generally up to 10% annually under the applicable Texas lending structure.
-
CAB Service Fees: The CAB charges a separate service fee, often calculated for each $100 borrowed. This fee represents the main cost of many short-term transactions.
The examples below illustrate how these costs may combine:
| Loan Amount | CAB Fee (per $100) | Lender Interest (APR) | Total Loan Term | Total Repayment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $300 | $20 - $30 | ~10% | 14 days | $365 - $395 |
| $300 | $20 - $30 | ~10% | 14 days | $365 - $395 |
| $1,000 | $20 - $30 | ~10% | 30 days | $1,210 - $1,310 |
Review the lender interest, CAB fees, APR, due date, and total repayment shown in the required disclosures before accepting an offer.

Municipal Payday Loan Regulations Across Texas Cities
The Texas OCCC licenses and regulates CABs statewide, while 49 Texas cities have adopted local payday and auto title lending ordinances. These requirements apply to businesses operating within their boundaries.
A residential ZIP code is a useful starting point for checking whether a city has additional payday lending protections. Applicable requirements may also depend on where the CAB operates.
Dallas & Houston Lending Limits
Dallas and Houston limit a single-payment payday loan to 20% of the consumer’s documented gross monthly income. This restriction ties the available amount to current income.
Austin & San Antonio Rollover Rules
Austin and San Antonio restrict single-payment loans to three renewals, with at least a 25% reduction required each time. These rules limit repeated extensions of the full balance.
Responsible Borrowing and Financial Alternatives in Texas
Payday loans are high-cost financial instruments. They should be used for short-term emergencies only, not as long-term financial solutions.
Review the full repayment amount and due date before accepting an offer. Texans can contact 2-1-1 Texas for food, housing, utility, and emergency financial assistance. TDHCA Help for Texans can locate a local Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program provider. Federal credit unions may also offer Payday Alternative Loans with lower rates and longer repayment terms.
