In Texas, the law restricts the amount of equity that can be borrowed against a home to 80% of its value. If you are looking to refinance a home equity loan, the total combined loan amount cannot exceed 80% of the home's value after refinancing. Additionally, there are specific disclosures and requirements that must be followed to ensure compliance with Texas law.
