Updates to Basic Manual Sections IV & V Effective Aug. 1st 

The Basic Manual has changed. The Texas Department of Insurance recently posted notice of adoption of the Texas Disclosure in sections IV (P-73) and V (T-64) of the Basic Manual. The effective date of the new Texas Disclosure rule was Aug. 1, 2015, however, the rule only requires the use of the form when the CFPB requires its new Closing Disclosure, which will be effective October 3rd.

TLTA’s online Basic Manual has been updated with these changes and our Basic Manual subscribers received updated, printable versions of the affected sections via email earlier this week. Additional Basic Manual updates are expected in September and in early 2016 and only TLTA Basic Manual subscribers will receive these updates, so subscribe now to ensure you are compliant with the latest regulations.
