Texas Payday Loan Laws

Payday loans are high-interest, low-dollar loans that come at much too high a price. To take out a payday loan, you’ll give the lender a post-dated check or electronic bank transfer authorization form. You’ll get cash on-the-spot— with an excessive fee and interest rate deducted.

Generally, these types of loans are short-term — typically until your next paycheck. When the due date rolls around, the lender will give you two options:

Since the amount of time given to repay payday loans is so short, people often can't afford to pay back their loans on time. In this situation, borrowers have no option but to roll over the balance and rack up another fee.

Statute of Limitation Laws in Texas

Under Texas laws, the statute of limitations on payday loans is 4 years. This means that if you default, the lender has 4 years to sue you for the balance. If they don’t initiate a lawsuit within this period, they can’t sue you at all. Unfortunately, lenders rarely let the statute of limitations expire.

What About a Repayment Plan?

It’s incredibly easy to fall victim to a predatory lender. Texas laws place very few regulations on these lenders, making it even easier for you to get in over your head. There are no laws in place that require a lender to offer you a reasonable repayment plan, meaning you’ll have to negotiate directly with the creditor to try to get a plan in place. Even if you can talk the lender into giving you a repayment plan, you’ll still be stuck with all of the other debt that got you caught in the payday loan debt cycle in the first place.
