OCCC adoption of RMLO NMLS registration amendments to 7 TAC §2.102

In March 2025, the Texas Finance Commission adopted amendments to 7 TAC §2. 102 tied to RMLO NMLS registration.

In March 2025, the Texas Finance Commission adopted amendments to 7 TAC §2.102 tied to RMLO NMLS registration. The amendments removed prior language stating that certain OCCC-licensed entities were not required to register with NMLS, as part of OCCC's migration to NMLS.

What changed

Texas revised the RMLO registration rule to remove exclusions from NMLS registration for certain OCCC-licensed entities. The change supports the agency's broader move to NMLS-based licensing administration.

Compliance perspective

Texas entities under OCCC jurisdiction should confirm whether their company and individual records now require NMLS registration or maintenance steps that were not previously required. This matters for amendment filings, renewals, and onboarding of covered staff.
