Texas Mortgage Forms
Most residential Texas mortgage forms are "conforming." This means
they must be in a format approved by Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac, or more
likely, both. These federal agencies buy mortgages from originating
lenders so long as the mortgage form used is acceptable according to
federal requirements. In addition, Texas mortgage forms also must comply
with state real estate laws.
Once a conforming loan is made with Texas mortgage forms, lenders
frequently sell loans to Federal agencies, recoup their principal, and
recycle the same principal into originating additional mortgages.
Typically, the Federal government retains the originating lender to
service the loan (collect payments) and later disburse to the holder of
the not. In effect, Texas mortgage forms create a negotiable instrument
that may be bought and sold many times over with the knowledge of the
borrower.
Interpreting Texas mortgage forms
Most Texas mortgage forms state that filing bankruptcy is a condition
of default and authorizes the lender to foreclose. this provision is
know as a "bankruptcy savings clause." Federal law is clear: bankruptcy
savings clauses are legally unenforceable. These terms are used
primarily to scare debtors, that is, intimidate debtors who are
unfamiliar with the law and deter filing bankruptcy. After bankruptcy is
filed, the clause has no force or effect and debtors may retain
collateral upon the same terms as if the clause did not appear within
Texas mortgage forms.

The availability of Texas court records online remains in it's infant stage of development. Counties containing the largest cities frequently provide internet access to public records. Many smaller and/or rural counties do not maintain websites and court records, real estate records, deeds, liens and conveyances must be obtained either in person at the County Clerk's Office or by mail. In all counties, certification of records requires the payment of an additional fee, yet may be required as a condition of admissibility in Texas Bankruptcy Courts. Alternatively, records may be offered as evidence in Texas Bankruptcy Courts by stipulation upon the agreement of all parties in interest.
