Texas Mortgage Lending
1,366 lenders reporting under HMDA
Statewide mortgage activity. Lenders filed 1,069,032 HMDA-reported mortgage applications in Texas in 2024, originating 491,716 loans and denying 184,113. That puts the statewide denial rate at 17.2% and the approval (origination) rate at 46.0%. The average loan amount across Texas was $314,820 at an average note rate of 6.74%. 1,366 distinct institutions, banks, credit unions, and independent mortgage companies, filed HMDA data covering activity in the state. Applications span 253 counties and 28 metropolitan areas.
What drives state-level differences. State mortgage denial rates reflect applicant mix more than lender stance. Credit profiles, loan-to-value ratios, debt-to-income, property type, and rural-versus-urban composition all move the number before any lender policy does. Demographic lending data reported under HMDA shows variation across applicant groups, for example, White applicants had an approval rate of 55.3% and denial rate of 19.5%; while Black or African American applicants had an approval rate of 47.2% and denial rate of 25.5%. These are derived race categories as reported by applicants and do not by themselves prove causation; credit score, income, and loan-to-value are not reported in HMDA and drive much of the underlying variation. Top counties by volume include Harris County, Bexar County, Tarrant County.
How to read this page. These are aggregate 2024 HMDA disclosures published by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a federal transparency dataset, not a real-time market feed. A state-level number is useful for context but cannot tell you what rate, fees, or underwriting any individual lender will offer a specific borrower. This page is informational data reporting, not financial, legal, or mortgage advice. Shop at least three lenders, compare Loan Estimates line-by-line, and consult a licensed mortgage professional before applying. Data reflects the CFPB HMDA 2024 Snapshot National Loan-Level Dataset; demographic fields reflect derived categories as reported by applicants.
