Texas state-specific notes
Texas has a constitutional usury cap of 10% on consumer loans by default, but consumer-finance licensees can charge higher rates under the Texas Finance Code. Most non-bank personal-loan lenders operate under either a Regulated Lender License (Chapter 342) or Credit Access Business License (CAB). Online lenders typically partner with Texas-licensed banks to operate nationwide.
Usury note: Texas has a complex regulatory framework. Most personal-loan offers come from federally chartered banks or lenders with state CAB or Chapter 342 licensing — these can charge market rates above 10%.
Where Texas borrowers come from
The LendingsTree marketplace serves applicants across Texas, including major metros such as Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth and smaller cities and rural counties statewide. All loan offers come from licensed lender partners — either Texas state-chartered lenders, nationally chartered banks operating under federal preemption, or credit unions serving Texas members.
Common personal loan uses in Texas

- Home improvement — kitchen remodels, HVAC, roof, and other capital expenses for Texas homeowners.
- Medical expenses — fixed-rate financing for procedures or recovery costs.
- Major life events — weddings, relocations, family emergencies.
