Who regulates pawnshops in Texas?

Texas pawnshops and pawnshop employees are licensed and examined by the Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner (OCCC). The OCCC also publishes the rate charts Texas pawnshops must follow, and you can check a Texas shop’s license on its site, occc.texas.gov.

Is TexasLuxeLoans a Texas-licensed pawnshop?

No. TexasLuxeLoans is a marketing platform and holds no lending license of its own. Loans arranged through us are originated in California by licensed California pawnbroker partners, so the loan agreement is written under California law, not under Texas pawn rules. If you would rather borrow under Texas rules, an OCCC-licensed shop near you is the right place to start.

Why would a Texan borrow through a California lender?

Usually because of the piece. For everyday items, a local Texas shop is often quicker and simpler.

What do Texas clients usually borrow against?

Ask us for the details that apply to your situation before you sign anything.

Do I have to fly to California?

The piece has to be examined in person before an offer is final.

Which parts of Texas do you work with?

Clients come from Houston, Dallas and the wider Dallas–Fort Worth area, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso and The Woodlands, as well as smaller cities across the state.

Does the lender check my credit?

Ask the licensed lender what it reviews, and read the written terms before you sign.

What if I can’t repay by the maturity date?

Your written agreement sets the maturity date, any renewal option and the redemption period that applies under California law. Have the lender walk you through those dates before you sign. If the loan is neither repaid nor renewed, the lender can sell the item under the terms of that agreement.
