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

(a) Amendments to License Records Required. Unless Tex. Fin. Code §157.019 applies and requires additional notice, an originator licensed by the Department must amend his or her NMLS license record (MU4 filing) within 10 days after any material change occurs affecting any aspect of the MU4 filing, including, but not limited to:

(1) name (which must be accompanied by supporting documentation submitted to the Department establishing the name change);

(2) phone number;

(3) email address (including his or her NMLS account email address, as provided by subsection (d) of this section);

(4) mailing address:

(5) residential history;

(6) employment history; and

(7) answers to disclosure questions (which must be accompanied by explanations for each such disclosure, together with supporting documentation concerning such disclosure).

(b) Amendments Requiring New Credit History Check. An originator amending his or her MU4 filing to make a financial disclosure is deemed to have authorized the Department to retrieve a current copy of his or her credit report, as provided by Tex. Fin. Code § 157.0132 and § RSA 81.108 of this title (relating to Background Checks), and the originator must further amend his or her MU4 filing to formally consent to and request such credit report within the NMLS system.

(c) Amendments Requiring New Criminal Background Check. An originator amending his or her MU4 filing to make a criminal disclosure is deemed to have authorized the Department to perform an additional criminal background check in accordance with Tex. Fin. Code § 157.0132 and § RSA 81.108 of this title (relating to Background Checks) and the originator must further amend his or her MU4 filing to formally consent to and request such criminal background check within the NMLS system.

(d) Notice to Licensee. Service of any correspondence, notification, alert, message, official notice or other written communication issued by the Department will be served on the licensee in accordance with this subsection utilizing the licensee's current contact information of record in NMLS unless another method is prescribed by other applicable law (notice to the originator in a matter referred to the State Office of Administrative Hearings for an adjudicative hearing will be performed in accordance with 1 Texas Administrative Code § 155.105.)

(1) Service by Email. Service by email will be made utilizing the email address the originator has designated for use with his or her NMLS account (a/k/a the "NMLS account email address" or "individual account email address"). The NMLS account email address is the same email address to which NMLS-generated notifications are sent. Service by email is complete on transmission of the email by the Department to the originator's email service provider; provided, the Department does not receive a "bounce back" notification, or similar, from the email service provider indicating that delivery was not effective. The originator has an ongoing duty and a continuing obligation to monitor the email account designated as their NMLS account email address including to ensure that correspondence from the Department or system notifications from NMLS are not lost in a "spam" or similar folder, or undelivered due to intervention by a "spam filter" or similar service. An originator is deemed to have constructive notice of any email correspondence or NMLS system notifications sent to the email address he or she has designated as his or her NMLS account email address.

(2) Service by Mail. Service by mail is complete on deposit of the document, postpaid and properly addressed, in the mail or with a commercial delivery service. If service is made on the originator by mail and the document communicates a deadline by or a time during which the originator must perform some act, such deadline or time period for action is extended by three days. However, if service was made by another method prescribed by this subsection, such deadline or time period will be calculated based on the earliest possible deadline or shortest applicable time period.
