Division of Licensing

2601 N. Lamar, Ste. 201

This Department is the obligee, which means that they are the entity which requires residential mortgage loan servicers to obtain the appropriate surety bond.

This bond is a prerequisite licensing.

 

 

 

Texas Residential Mortgage Loan Servicer Bond: Purpose

 

 

 

The purpose of the Texas residential mortgage loan servicer bond is to protect the public, that is, consumers, or, others, from acts of fraud, theft, or criminal activity committed by a mortgage loan servicer, its officer, employers, managers, or owners in the course of their business activities.

The bond is made payable to the Department on behalf of consumers in Texas.

 

 

 

Texas Residential Mortgage Loan Servicer Bond: Amount

 

 

 

The state has determined that licensees will purchase a bond in one of two amounts:

  • If the servicing volume for a residential servicer is less than $25 million, a $25,000 surety bond is required;
  • If the servicing volume for a residential servicer is greater than $25 million, a $50,000 surety bond is required.

 

 

Texas Residential Mortgage Loan Servicer Bond: Duration

 

 

 

The residential mortgage loan servicer bond license ends on 12/31 of each year.

Therefore, the bond should be purchased to run concurrent with licensing so as to prevent any lapse in bond coverage.

A lapse in bond coverage may result in the Department suspending the license until the lapse is cured.

 

 

 

Texas Residential Mortgage Loan Servicer Bond: Premium

 

 

 

A Texas residential mortgage loan servicer bond premium is determined by the following:

  • At what point during the year the bond is purchased;
  • The amount of bond purchased (that is, a $25,000 or a $50,000 surety bond);
  • The applicant’s credit score.

Applicants with good credit will pay a small percentage of the overall bond amount.
