The Finance Commission voted to publish these rule amendments for comment at its October 16, 2026 meeting. The official comment period will begin on October 30 (when the amendments are published in the Texas Register) and will end on November 30. Video of the OCCC’s September 21 stakeholder meeting on these rules is available here.

Summary: These proposed amendments would update licensing requirements to implement the transition to the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS) for motor vehicle sales finance companies and commercial motor vehicle sales finance companies. The updates include revisions to requirements for new license applications, transfers of ownership, application denials, and change notifications. Proposed amendments would combine recordkeeping rules into a single rule for all motor vehicle licensees. The amendments would make other technical changes and updates.
