Payday Loans in Houston, Texas
Borrowers in Houston get the same statutory deal as the rest of Texas — no dollar cap, a $30 maximum fee on a $300 loan — and the same two real variables: the lender's disclosure and the funding cutoff. Both are checkable before you commit.
No dollar cap · 7-180 days
The price in Houston is the state's
