TMBA will be offering the first round of licensing courses before year end. One of several classes is projected to run concurrent with the upcoming TMBA Seminar in Dallas, November 16-18. The State of Texas requires every mortgage banker originator take 20 hours of education to obtain their license. For the convenience of those who take our course in Dallas with the Seminar, three consecutive days may seem quite the commitment but in one fail swoop students will knock out all the required pre-licensing class requirements. Plans are still being finalized with national on course approval and arrangements with the hotel, but what we do know is that the class will be limited to 100 students and the deadline to get the hotel discounted rate has been extended to October 10th. Let Lisa in the TMBA office know how many seats you would like to reserve and watch for the registration information. And that is not all. In our continuing effort to be your one-stop resource for complying with the new licensing laws, TMBA has also developed a course specifically tailored to help loan originators pass the required licensing tests. Also look for a course that will help companies build their quality control program to assure you are complying with all new regulations – and there are a bunch of them. You will see more on this in the upcoming months. Of course, you can always get all of your licensing information at www.texasmortgagelicensing.org.

Special thanks to Commissioner Doug Foster, Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending for speaking about the upcoming changes as a result of the S.A.F.E. Mortgage Licensing Act. The S.A.F.E. Act established the federal minimum standards that include back ground checks, testing, and at least 20 hours of pre-licensing education and at least 8 hours of continuing education annually for loan originators. Commissioner Foster was able to explain the scope of the changes and what it will mean for the mortgage lenders in Texas.

There were tremendous challenges in the 2009 Texas Legislative session prompted by legislators who believe a more restricted and regulated system of mortgage lending should be adopted in Texas. 7,419 House and Senate bills were introduced in the last legislative session. With TMBA and its lobbying efforts, three key bills support and developed by TMBA were approved and none of the legislation opposed by TMBA passed. The three primary bills that TMBA actively supported and which have now become law are: TMBA successfully opposed bills that would have resulted in: • HB 10 – the Texas version of the “model act” being adopted by all states to implement the federal S.A.F.E. legislation for licensing and regulating residential mortgage loan originators. The legislation contains all of the minimum standards and requirements of the federal law but does not impose any additional requirements that would be objectionable. TMBA was involved in every stage of the drafting of that legislation and in its passage. • Legislation to prohibit a lender from using a credit score in setting a borrower’s interest rate. • Legislation that provided that the owner of residential real property could file a lawsuit against a lien holder within 30 days after a foreclosure sale “for a claim that arises out of the transaction under which the lien attached, regardless of whether the action would otherwise be barred by limitation”. Stated another way, a borrower could sue a lender on the original loan within 30 days after a foreclosure sale even if the original loan had been made 10 or 15 years earlier. • HB 2779 – This legislation amends the Texas Mortgage Banker Registration Act to provide the regulatory structure for the licensing and regulation (pursuant to the provisions of HB 10) of mortgage banker loan officers who originate home loans. The legislation was drafted by TMBA. Although there were a couple of technical changes made in the legislation during its passage, there were no objectionable provisions that were inserted. • HB 2774 – The Texas Savings and Mortgage Lending Department, the Texas Department of Banking, and the Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner (all of which are governed by the Finance Commission) are funded by fees paid by individuals and entities who are regulated by those agencies. They receive no tax dollars. However, the monies they receive can be spent presently only if and how appropriated or designated by the Texas Legislature. The provisions added to HB 2774 removed the Finance Commission agencies from the legislative budget process. That will permit them to hire and retain the most competent and qualified people. This legislation is important to mortgage bankers since the Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending presently registers mortgage bankers and will be the agency that licenses and regulates mortgage banker residential loan officers. 12 www.texasmba.org • Legislation which would have extended from the present 20 day time period to 60 days the minimum time of notice of foreclosure and which would require the foreclosing lien holder to publish notice of the foreclosure (with extensive information specified in the legislation) once a week for four weeks in a local newspaper prior to foreclosure. It was estimated that this requirement could cause a Houston foreclosure to cost more than $3,000 for the publication requirement if the notice was published in the Houston Chronicle. • Legislation adding extensive new duties on a residential mortgage servicer including (1) any fee incurred by the servicer and assessed to the debtor must be assessed within 45 days with a clear explanation or the fee is waived, (2) a payment (even if it is insufficient) must be credited within one business day of the date received or an explanatory notification must be provided to the debtor, and (3) the mortgage servicer must maintain records of any dispute or error and provide detailed information if requested by the debtor. continued on page 18 www.texasmortgagelicensing.org TMBA Mortgage Roundup September | October 2009 Volume XVII Issue V Legislative | Regulatory Efforts. continued. • Legislation that would prohibit a lender from refinancing an existing home loan unless the new loan has a “reasonable, tangible net benefit to the borrower considering all of the circumstances, including the terms of the new and refinanced loan and the borrower’s stated loan objectives, repayment ability, current and expected income, and current obligations”. The concern, of course, is that this subjective determination requirement would generate disputes and litigation. • Legislation that would require 60 to 90 day mediation on a defaulted home loan before the mortgage servicer could foreclose. • Legislation that would authorize a debtor on a “subprime mortgage” (as defined in the legislation) and negative amortization loans to defer foreclosure for up to 270 days. • Legislation that would set a maximum interest rate of 9% on consumer loans (which obviously would include home loans) and would limit a late payment to $5 and also provide that no late payment fee could be levied against a senior citizen, anyone disabled, or low income individuals. • Legislation that would have mandated a standard form of a payoff statement for home loans which a lender or mortgage servicer would be required to complete and provide if requested. The lender or mortgage servicer would be bound by the amount on this payoff statement for purposes of closing a transaction. Any amounts remaining owed because of a mistake by the lender or mortgage servicer would not constitute a lien against the property (as is the current law) but would remain the personal liability of the borrower. • Legislation requiring a lender to contact the debtor in person or by telephone to advise the debtor of a home loan default and the opportunity to cure. • Legislation that would have required lenders to provide to borrowers in connection with default and opportunity to cure notices (1) a description of the options available to debtor to prevent foreclosure (lawsuit?) and (2) a description of and warning against “typical activities that may be encountered by the debtor in connection with the foreclosure, including unconscionable actions or courses of action” (apparently, some form of deceptive trade practice act recitation). • Legislation that would have required judicial – rather than the current non-judicial – foreclosure of certain types of loans, including most ARMs. • Legislation that would have a required a filing in connection with a notice of foreclosure of extensive information about the loan being foreclosed upon, including: (1) the type of lien being foreclosed, (2) the initial interest rate on the loan, (3) the origination and maturity dates of the loan, (4) the initial amount of the debt, (5) whether the loan allows negative amortization or payment of interest only, (6) extensive information about the index if the interest rate could change, (7) whether the loan allows for a scheduled payment that is more than twice as large as the initial payment, (8) whether the loan has a prepayment penalty or allows for a change in interest rate when there is a default by the debtor or a decrease in the debtor’s credit score, (9) the type of default (whatever that means), (10) demographics of the debtor (whatever that means), (11) whether the property was the debtor’s residence, and (12) the Zip Code of the property. This extensive litany is provided to demonstrate just how impractical the legislation would have been. • Legislation that would have required a $150 filing fee on every mortgage foreclosure with the money to be used for indigent legal services. • Legislation that would have required mandatory counseling before a lender could make certain types of home loans to borrowers. w w w . t e x a s m b a . o rg www.texasmortgagelicensing.org 13 TMBA Mortgage Roundup September | October 2009 Volume XVII Issue V 2009 TMBPAC Mission.
