Universal Citation: 7 TX Admin Code ยง 81.102

Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) Purpose and Applicability. The purpose of this section is to specify how an individual licensed in another jurisdiction or by a different licensing authority as an originator, or is a "registered mortgage loan originator" (as defined by Finance Code § RSA 180.002(16)) , may avail himself or herself of the ability to act in the capacity of an originator in Texas temporarily while he or she seeks licensure by the Department, as provided by Tex. Fin. Code §180.0511.

(b) Application Required. An individual seeking to act under temporary authority must comply with the requirements of Tex. Fin. Code §180.0511. Among other requirements, Tex. Fin. Code §180.0511 requires that the individual file an application with the Department seeking licensure in order to be recognized as having temporary authority. An individual must not act or attempt to act in the capacity of an originator until such application has been filed and the individual has been assigned an NMLS license status code by the Department recognizing such temporary authority. Several status codes reflect and recognize such temporary authority. An individual may confirm his or her temporary authority by reviewing his or her status on the NMLS Consumer Access website (nmlsconsumeraccess.org).

(c) Incomplete Applications. The requirements of §81.100(h) (relating to Licensing - General), providing for the deemed withdrawal of an application that is not complete, are inapplicable to an application for which temporary authority is conferred.
