Payday loan rules that apply in Frisco
| Rule | Texas |
|---|---|
| How it works | Most payday and title loans are arranged by licensed Credit Access Businesses (CABs) with a third-party lender |
| Fees | CAB fees are not capped by state law, which is why Texas has some of the highest APRs in the country |
| Licensing | Each CAB location must be licensed by the OCCC |
| Local rules | Many Texas cities, including Austin and Dallas, have adopted ordinances that further limit loan size and renewals |
Many Texas cities have their own rules for credit access businesses, such as limits on loan size and renewals. Ask the lender whether Frisco has one, or contact the city.
