Texas OCCC
Overview of the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner
Since Texas’ existence as an independent republic, some form of consumer credit regulation has existed in the state. Since its creation in 1963, the Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner (OCCC) has seen the depth and breadth of its regulatory oversight increase to encompass the expanding financial marketplace in Texas, and each segment, with its own unique and specific benefits and compliance concerns. The agency works to ensure that the non depository financial services industry that it regulates provides compliant financial products. Participants within this dynamic and diverse industry range from small, independent providers, to international publicly-traded corporations engaging in an extensive array of financial transactions.
