Power Training NMLS Provider #1400059

I attended the Greater Houston Association of Mortgage Brokers and was happy to see old friends and to hear updates from the Commissioner and Director of Licensing and Regulation.
One case that stood out was about education fraud.

RMLO’s PLEASE take your education yourself.
A loan officer had his processor take his education last year for him and is now paying $31,000 in fines, has lost his ability to originate and has been permanently banned from 18 states including Texas.

Don’t be this RMLO!

Great way to kick off 2026!
Congratulations to the newly installed board for the Austin Mortgage Bankers. Looking forward to a great year.
Congratulations to Angela Bujnoch, winner of the Kenton Brown award.

Good Morning Mortgage Friends!
Some of you did not renew your license by 12/31 and we are receiving phone calls and emails that you woke up yesterday to find you are NOT authorized to do business!

If you have completed your CE but you didn’t attest and pay, do it TODAY!

You will have to pay 1 1/2 times the renewal fees and remember, you CANNOT originate or discuss loan terms, even with current customers until your license status changes to “authorized to business”.

Get going, you have until 2/28 to attest and pay before you have other requirements to regain your license!

Hello Mortgage Community!
I just wrapped a call with Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending and 8737 individual loan originators have not renewed!

Loan originators eligible 44,395
35,658 have renewed
80.3%

Companies and Entities
74.4% Contract processors
80.3% Mortgage companies
96.3 % Bankers

Let’s get going! Today is the LAST day to renew without a penalty.

Merry Christmas!
