Exam Tip
Texas consumer-protection items often test false or deceptive conduct, fair lending, complaint response, document production, conflicting roles, high-cost home-loan safeguards, and unlicensed or unauthorized origination.
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
