How Payday Loans Work in Texas

Unlike most states, Texas does not cap the rate, so these loans cost more for borrowers in McAllen. Lenders must be licensed as a Credit Access Business under Texas state law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are payday loans legal in Texas?

Yes. Payday loans, also called cash advances, are legal in Texas.

Most lenders operate as a Credit Access Business that arranges your loan and charges a fee, and they must be licensed by the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner.

Texas does not cap the rate, but many cities add local protections.

How much does a payday loan cost in Texas?

Texas sets no rate cap, so payday loans here are among the most expensive in the country.

Fees commonly run from $15 to $30 per $100 borrowed for a two-week loan, which works out to roughly 400% to 660% APR.

For example, a McAllen borrower who takes $325 at about $20 per $100 pays about $65 in fees and repays about $390.

How much can I borrow with Superb Cash Advance in Texas?

With Superb Cash Advance you can apply for up to $500.

A McAllen borrower might take $325 and repay about $390 on their next payday.

Texas has no statewide loan limit, but in cities with the local ordinance a payday loan cannot be more than 20% of your gross monthly income.

Do I need good credit to get a payday loan in Texas?

No, you do not need good credit to qualify. We primarily look at your income and your ability to repay rather than your credit score.

Is there a credit check to get a payday loan?

Getting a quote uses only a soft credit inquiry, so it does not affect your credit score.

If your loan is approved, a hard credit inquiry may be completed, and national databases such as TransUnion, Equifax, LexisNexis, or FactorTrust may be checked before funding.

So there is no hard credit check just to request a loan, but one may be required before your loan is funded.

How fast can I get the money?

Most applicants get a decision within minutes. If you are approved, funds can reach your account or debit card quickly, sometimes the same business day or the next business day.*

Can I cancel a payday loan in Texas?

Yes. You can cancel the loan at no cost any time before midnight of the third business day after you sign.

Returning the money you received cancels the fee.

What happens if I cannot repay on time?

Texas does not require a grace period, but you can pay the loan off early at any time with no penalty. If you cannot pay, contact us first, and in the many Texas cities with the local ordinance a loan can be renewed no more than three times, with each renewal cutting the balance by at least 25%.

You cannot be jailed for an unpaid loan, and Texas does not allow your wages to be garnished for this debt, though a lender can sue you and seek a bank account after a court judgment.

What do I need to qualify for a payday loan?

To apply, you will need a government-issued photo ID, proof of U.S. citizenship and Texas residency, and to be at least 18 years old.

You will also need a Social Security number, proof of income, an active checking account in your name, and a working phone number and email address.
