Exam Tip
Texas often tests the split between SML and OCCC, current NMLS TX-SML 23-hour PE, TX-OCCC 20-hour PE baseline, 8-hour CE, December 31 renewal timing, and the SAFE National Test with UST.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- -Using a generic national answer when Texas has SML, OCCC, home-equity, or Finance Code rules
- -Confusing Texas-SML and Texas-OCCC education, licensing, renewal, and product-scope requirements
- -Treating Texas 50(a)(6), temporary authority, exemptions, records, advertisements, or enforcement rules as optional
